Another great thing about living on a farm is there is lots of "junk" E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E!!! We have several old sheds full of stuff so I decided to scope them out awhile back to see if there were any hidden treasures. I was super excited when I found this old ladder.
And I was thrilled to find these old rusty pails.
I had no idea what I was going to do with the ladder or the pails, but I like them and figured I would think of something.....someday.
I mowed the yard this morning and then started pulling weeds in my flower bed and then it hit me. I knew what I was going to do with my old ladder and rusty pails.
This is our the back side of our house. Notice the trim around the window is not painted. I have only put that off for 2 years. It was gorgeous out today so I decided to tackle that project. I spent the whole day outside working and got a sunburn on my arms.
I had to make another trip to the shop for some wire and while I was there I found this old watering can and another old pail.
Sorry it is a bad picture, but I decided to make it a planter.
Then I used the old ladder and did this.
And this.
And this with the last pail.
And now my back yard looks like this.
I am excited for my flowers to grow so I will have petunias flowing down my ladder. I need to get some flowers for my hanging basket too.
So needless to say....one farmer's junk is his wife's treasure!!!!!!! It is not quite a flower box, but will work until I can get one made!!!
Here is an update of how things have grown the last 3 weeks!!
