Things just seem to keep getting busier and busier around here. I really do have several recipes that I want to post but I just have not had the time. I wanted to at least get something new posted on my blog so I looked through my hundreds of pictures!
I had my husband move this old John Deere pressdrill into our yard about four or five years ago. I thought it would look cute as a planter for flowers. A drill like this was used in the 1950's to plant small grains such as wheat and barley. Now adays, of course, we use much bigger machinery. See this post for a look at our current seeder.

Who would have ever thought to use the old drill as a planter....awesome idea! only on a farm can you see such brilliant ideas! Enjoy your blog alot! Keep up the good work!!
ReplyDeleteyour flowers are so beautiful, they almost look fake! cute planter idea. i have several old "containers" as well. old wooden milk crate, bolt bin, bed pan {kinda groses some out} i just love flowers. although i will admit that i'm kinda ready to be done watering them. i'm not really ready for winter but i'm ready for the next season for sure. have a wonderful tuesday!
ReplyDeleteOh that is definitely awesome!! Great idea!!! The flowers look great in there!!! I hope you get to slow things down a bit and have some rest!!
ReplyDeleteCute idea! A way to pretty-up nostaligia.
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative idea! Your flowers are gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love to see old equipment used for something beautiful! The elegant beauty of the fowers against the old worn metal finish is wonderful! That's what designers call a "juxtapostion." See how clever you are?
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
That is a fantastic idea! I'm sure you are well aware...farms seem to have old stuff everywhere! At least, ours does! I did a re-purpose walk-through a while back and found new uses for some old things...I will have to do it again with new eyes! :) LOL
ReplyDeleteI love that! Very creative and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking me 'away from the city' for a while.
ReplyDeleteWow, your petunias are gorgeous! You must spend a lot of time working on them, deadheading them...I don't see a single wilted bloom!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,
Beth
I love to see old item repurposed. Your flowers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh I have the same trouble! SO many things I want to blog about and no time. I'm starting to think that things just aren't going to slow down anytime soon. Maybe January??
ReplyDeleteHope you find a few minutes of peace for yourself.
Neat ideal for the planter. Flowers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love that idea. Great re-use of something no longer used. Pretty flowers also.
