Mother Nature allowed a calm,

This week's assignment for Mary's Thursday's Inspiration
. . . Round!
For my subject matter,
On Crooked Creek,
I chose three round objects of interest!!!
The first is a vintage sand stone ~ grinding / sharpening stone.
The second is an aging, deteriorating tree stump.
The third are sweet gum seeds from the tree during the Winter.
Until next time. . .
On Crooked Creek will be joining

ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I am so jealous of anyone who actually has spring weather right now.
ReplyDeleteHi Pat; Brought back child memories of grinding stones on the ranch, essential tool. Lovely photos.

I had a grinding stone wheel thing in my backyard growing up too, for sharpening knives... I wonder if it's still there??
ReplyDeleteMy granddad had one of those grinding stones like the first one-set on a bicycle like thing that you pedaled to turn it to whet things. I wish I had it now. You have very cool "circles" here today- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see all the different entries for this theme. Your grinding stone is wonderful. They are getting hard to find and now you have immortalized it!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you, as this is my first time here. I think I'm going to love it!

The grinding stone, if not too heavy could be wall art too. I like the seed pods - neat little things.

Wonderful artsy shots! The grinding wheel is a wonderful focal point in your garden.
ReplyDeleteRustic and artistic! What nice candid pictures :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend~

Pat I have several reactions to this. One is that we abhor those sweet gum seeds (I never think of them as seeds) as they cause twisted ankles, cut bare feet and are fairly annoying. We got rid of several sweet gum trees and now our neighbor's tree bestows the "balls" on our lawn or worse, driveway. Especially after a windy day!
ReplyDeleteAnd the sandstone took me right back to my grandfather's garage where he had one like this and would sharpen my grandma's kitchen knives --and other tools with it. He was a builder. Thanks for the sweet memory, he was my favorite grandpa and died when I was young.
The gristmill is a prize piece. Beautiful. Valerie
ReplyDeleteI have an old grinding stone similar to yours in one of my beds. It came from the farm I grew up on. I also have a couple of "Indian" grinding stones that I use in my beds. Fun to imagine their past!
ReplyDeleteA+ on this assignment, Pat. Your images are perfect examples for the theme. '-)
ReplyDeleteGreat choices of round. Sweet Gum balls are all over the place here.
ReplyDeleteI like those prickly rounds - great texture!
ReplyDeleteahhh, I love your circles.
ReplyDeleteThis is a new party for me...haven't heard about it. However, it could be because I've had my head in either a paint can or a packing box. :)
I'll try to join next Thursday.
hugs, bj
