Tire thermometer is cool.

The other side of the fence with the sled is way cooler ....

Why yes it is.

More junk/yard art/stuff laying around on purpose:




Old horn in the garden I plant flowers in

[yuccales]

The front yard.... part of it. We really enjoy our small fire pit. Long time ago, I posted a pic of the '69 hauling our "sitting rock". Got some looks going up the highway.

Nice sitting place... sanctuary.

Nice insulator K... Is it threaded ? I've a black glass unthreaded , been offered 2000 for...has pontil mark and everything

On the glass theme..

I’m not sure if it’s yard art ?
But do any of you all remember putting old glass out
In the sun to make it turn blue/ purple

That’s the left over pile

You bet it's art! Weld yourself up a re-bar tree, slip those bottles over the "branches" and you have a cool looking glass tree.

Google glass bottle tree , that is what I thought of when I saw that pile of bottles .

Stan, yes it is threaded. I took that mount off a historic home I worked on in the '90s. Had that lying around all that time, and also had a variety of insulators I had gathered. The mount takes huge flatheads that I never had big enough any time I'd be motivated to hang it up. Finally one day I ended up with a couple big-uns and hung 'er up! I have a bunch of clear insulators and wooden mounts, too. So the one you have, is it ceramic or glass? I knew people collected them, but had no idea of the values.

I never heard of putting glass out to change color (You pullin' my leg?). But I think glass is cool, especially colored, even in a pile. I walk my road and keep the trash picked up while I'm at it. One day it hit me to pile the cans, glass, and plastic bottles in a clear spot just beyond where the county mows. One, it saved me from carrying it all the way back home. Two, it started looking cool as it piled up. I try to keep the colors glass/plastic on the outer area. Three, maybe it will make the people who still actually think the world is their trash can to spark a trace of conscious thought. Funny thing. Once it started piling up someone took the aluminum cans , so I keep those for myself now. Once, someone came along and picked it all up. I count that as a success. Four, I wanted to see how big and high of a pile it makes to show people how it all adds up.

Also look up the bottle house in Calico Ghost Town. If I had an unlimited supply of bottles I'd build one for sure!

I'm not familiar with that, either.

What is this "sun" thing of which you speak?

And yard art

That tear drop trailer and the wooden scorpion is very cool!

[Chevyland]

I love wood sculpture
Especially when nature creates it
How about a dragon

[Chevyland]

Or a
Burl Beast

[yuccales]

Way cool!
