Rust....

   I bought this metal art piece years ago , at a junk shop. It had a bit of paint on it then.  We have it hanging on the  shop/garage  wall, above our garden pond. It is really rusty now, we like it that way.  It reminds me of the mill near one of the covered bridges in Park County. We used to go to the covered bridge festival there.
   With summer going so fast, I have been thinking of the festivals coming up. I usually go to the Earth Day festival in Atlanta, Indiana. This is one small town that is filled to over flowing on the weekend of the festival. We have a pork festival here in our town . It's the weekend after Labor day. Do any of you attend festivals near your home???
  Wishing everyone a great day. XO

  2. Sounds like there are a lot of festivals for you to consider. We do have a few around here, the Aquafest on one of the lakes, the Rutabaga Festival (which I'm not sure is held anymore), but I like to visit those places on less crowded days. :-)

    1. I like to check our different fests. I went last year with my daughter to one at the Amish Acres, in northern Indiana. Ted and I like to go the Earth Day fest on Sunday morning very early, in time for a cinnamon roll and coffee.:) xoxo,Susie

    1. Doesn't it seem that some festival go along with the area's produce? There a blueberry fest up north and it's always at a very hot time...or so it seems. Hope you are having a great time. xoxo,Susie

    1. Gert, we had the thickest fog this morning...makes me scared for people who have to be out on the roads. You'll have to post on your piece of art. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    1. hey, what are you saying...I think peaches when I think Georgia.LOL. Now you are telling me there's an apple fest. So funny. But that like around here...There is a blueberry fest up north and I sure do not think of blueberry when I think of Indiana. I think corn, beans and pork. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  11. I don't usually like rust on things, but on your piece of art it gives it such whimsy and character. I really like it.

    We have tons of festivals around here and if I went to every one that would be all I'd do! LOL. Have fun no matter which one you choose.

  12. Ya know I know we have festivals. There was a small art festival in my home town not too long ago and I'm sure there are others in the surrounding area. I have not been to one though.
    I must say I really like the metal mill. It has lots of character. I have no place to display such an item yet I might have bought it if I happened upon it. Nice find.
    Thanks for your kind words. I hope to be back blogging on a more regular basis next week after my sister gets home.
