Today was a particularly lucrative Farm Find Day. We live on 5 acres of property in a rural area and the people who lived here before us were pack rats (or else they were just too cheap to go to the dump). We have lived here 6 years and we are still finding stuff! Most finds are little but yesterday the kids found some really cool treasures. This stop sign (I had forgotten about) was once used to close a hole in the floor. These people believed in "waste not want not" and took Upcycle DIY to a whole new level. Unfortunately, that level was usually against a building code of some kind......but code shmode, they were handy! So the kids (re)discovered this yesterday and joyfully schlepped it across the property in search of some functioning faucet so they could clean it. It is NOT coming in the house but I'm sure it'll end up in some fort somewhere.
And, score-of-all-scores (this is the BEST find so far!), they also found this old bicycle. I adore this. The more I look at it, the more I love it. I'm going to leave it here and plant flowers around it. Or else I'll ride it town while wearing by big floppy pink garden hat.......
