Mobile Sandbox with Dinosaurs

Jo Isaac wrote, "I know you have a thing for wheelbarrows...this is how we used ours for a few years - mobile sand-box!" (in the Adelaide Hills)

I'm back to add a follow-up:

Funny—Kai saw the picture of the sand-barrow in your blog while I was looking at it, and asked if I could put the sand back in it! It's the first nice day of Spring, so I hosed it down (we'd been using it to haul firewood!) and patched up its holes, and put the sand back in. He played out there for hours—but he's so tall now, he has to stoop down to get in there!

Jo, in Australia

I asked, "Spring starts on the first of the month and not the equinox?"

Jo wrote, "Yes, it's very odd...after growing up in England, I can never get used to it."

Chama, New Mexico

This is the wheelbarrow of Candace Piuma, in Chama, New Mexico.

My sister posted the photos with this note:

Candace Piuma is an amazing gardener & a wonderful artist. Come see her jewelry this week-end at Chama's Studio Tour. She's at Iron Horse Realty across from The High Country.

The High Country (restaurant and bar) is where Irene performs pretty often, with her harmonica-playing friend, Dylan Loman. Irene has worked there for years, landscaping and bookkeeping and sometimes working in the package store.

The wheelbarrow is riveted. I don't think I had seen a riveted wheelbarrow before.

Carboot, Taplow; didn't buy it

Snapped this little wheelbarrow from a puzzle at a carboot in Taplow. I would've liked to have owned it, but left the puzzle there.

Taplow is in "South Bucks" in Buckinghamshire, UK

In a garden in Bristol, UK

"I thought you might like this picture of the fire we had for Zack's 11th birthday camp in the garden. A use for our old wheel-less wheelbarrow. Works really well - we have toasted marshmallows and roasted chocolate bananas."—Liz Moreland
