Rubbish Tuesday #9

Our local town had their fireworks display Saturday night. Daughter and family always come down and watch with us. I was on my way to the nearest Dollar Store to look for a festive tablecloth for outside when I saw a likely candidate for Rubbish Tuesday.
 I saw this wheel leaning up against a tree at the edge of a lawn. The building in the background is an old log cabin that was once an antique store. Sadly, it is no longer in business.
 I didn't find a tablecloth, so took a drive out past the covered bridge in hopes of a colorful bird landing in front of my camera lens. No luck there, but I did see this old grain wagon rusting away at the edge of a field. I remember playing in the soybeans in a wagon just like this one, only it was still orange.
Up  a hill from the wagon, I spied this old barn. It wasn't a productive errand, but it was a productive drive home.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will join in the fun.

My idea was to have a place to post 'old things'.  Anything old and/or deteriorating such as old houses, barns, outbuildings, old cars, rusty things, antiques, interesting junk, or it can be something in pristine condition, but just old.

Country drives are like that sometimes.

Wheels are HUGE for decorating here. They are all over the yards. The grain wagon, I would never have known what it is, it is kind of lovely in it's poor rusted state.

Can I just post a photo of myself. I qualify as I am both old and deteriorating ;0). Your photos are lovely and very evocative too. I am attempting to blog again, though blogger isn't allowing me to post photos unless I download an app as I'm dong it via iPad. I will try to sort it....... ;0) Jeannie aka Letty xx

Roan,

Wagon wheels always catch my eye too. I like the old gravity wagon. We still use one for calf pellets.

Hope you have a wonderful day.

Love your Rubbish Tuesday selections! Great photos! Told my Mom about this meme, because she lives in a small town in Va near rural fields and old farms...I am sure she could find lots to participate with! I promise I will try to find some things here, but the sun destroys everything it touches, and doesn't leave anything for long! :-)

How neat that you have the same stained glass hummingbird picture! Glad you followed my series from Madera Canyon too and knew most of those great birds I have been posting came from there. I do find some around home, too, but that happens less and with lots less variety! :-) Have an awesome week!

Debby Ray said...

Ooo...I get all warm and tingly inside when I see these wonderful things! Thanks for hosting such a cool party!

Amy Burzese said...

Awesome! Very productive, I'd say. Who really needs a tablecloth anyway? :)

MadSnapper said...

i prefer old things and rubbish that you found over birds. the things you see there are things i can't see here. we have birds but not old cabins and wheels.. i love all things old...

Halcyon said...

I always love seeing your old stuff. The wheel is especially nice!
