Thursday Thirteen #49 How do I love thee ? Let me count the ways---- Rusty, dusty, old, peeling, well used.. .... but why?

For some reason If it is Rusty, dusty, old, peeling, well used.. I really like it! I used to want to bring everything in my house-- now I mostly have it outside or just take a picture... I do wonder why it appeals to me?? Because it has been useful?
What do you think? If any of these appeal to you? why do they?

1.I know this one was well used


2.this one is much better planted in the ground than on the store shelf

3.this one is the sentiment behind it (given to us ten years ago when my MIL died) by our kind neighbors

4.this because it had the strength to grow in our garage threshhold

5.this cause I took it from my dear friends garden when she moved 8-9 years ago

6.this cause a woman in Colorado made it w/ a chainsaw and I hefted it through Denver Airport security for hours


7.This I just like

8.Old brands on barns and fences always catch my lens

9.This was in the old stock yards Any ideas? I don't know?

10.She seemed to grow brown fur after a bad storm

11.This is just cool right?

12.see #8


13.this is from an old Studebaker

I like shiny and bright too but these seem to tug at my insides-- What about you?
