THE RUSTY METAL STAND ALWAYS SAT BEHIND MY DAD'S POLE SHED GROWING UP. WHEN MOM SOLD OUR CHILDHOOD HOME, I KNEW THIS STAND BELONGED IN MY YARD. I ENLISTED THE HELP OF SEVERAL BURLY MEN TO MOVE IT! THEN BEGGED MY HUSBAND TO GET CRAFTY & MAKE IT A PLANTER FOR ME. HE FINALLY GAVE IN. THE BASE IS TREATED PLYWOOD WITH DRAIN HOLES DRILLED IN IT. THE EDGES ARE CEDAR WHICH HAVE TURNED A NICE SILVER COLOR.
I THINK OF MY CHILDHOOD NOW, EVERY TIME I WATER THE FLOWERS! MY YOUNGEST THINKS THAT HIDING UNDER THE STAND IS WONDERFULLY ENTERTAINING. SO MAYBE SOMEDAY HE'LL APPRECIATE THE UNIQUE OLD THING.
