Riding in a clean, new wheelbarrow

Toby Tsosie wrote on Facebook:

Connor and I found this pimped out wheel barrel at cooks hardware today.. Well be Rollin deep and doing chores!

When I wrote and asked, this was some of our exchange:

Sandra:

I loved wheelbarrow rides when I was a kid. My dad would go fast and I'd hold the edge and feel like flight.

Toby:

We did a few laps today.

Cook's Hardware has been in Española (my hometown) my whole life (and longer, probably), and the wheelbarrow now resides a few miles up the road in Santa Clara Pueblo. Someday it will be an old wheelbarrow, but On May 18, 2015, it was brand new.

Interesting handles—Mississauga, Ontario

I hadn't seen handles like this on a full-size wheelbarrow. It was in the parking lot where Paramount butcher shop is, in Missisauga, Ontario.

Katie Pybus sent it and wrote: A photo of a massive photo of a wheelbarrow. Everytime I see a wheelbarrow I think of you. Taken at Hinton Ampner last week.

I don't know where "Hinton Ampner" is. Looking it up...
Oh! A stately home:

Hinton Ampner House is a stately home with gardens within the civil parish of Bramdean and Hinton Ampner, near Alresford, Hampshire, England. The house and garden are owned by the National Trust and are open to the public.

But maybe there's a town named that, and it wasn't taken at the historic museumized home. Hold on—in the video, a mom who was visiting said "Everyone loves the cafe."


Hinton Ampner House and Garden near Winchester

from Linda Wyatt

"I finally have a wheelbarrow picture for you. This is a stone bridge, originally built by the CCC in 1933 (I believe) in Robert H Treman State Park. It was washed out in a flood in 2013, and is still being rebuilt." —Linda Wyatt



(Links were added by me—"CCC" stands for Civilian Conservation Corps, and anyone who doesn't know about that will probably find it interesting. Robert H Treman State Park is near Ithaca, New York. I looked it up.)

Hampton Court Station, stealth-barrow

A Wheelbarrow for you Sandra. It is on the Platform of Hampton Court Station and I can't believe I have never noticed it before....Its chained down... and has a flat tyre, and seems to be a herb garden of sorts. It's near the entrance but to the side and slightly obscured by the cafe so actually very missable, but once I saw it I couldn't believe I had missed it all these times! Even when Holly was here.


Sandra Dodd:
They're everywhere, and elegant-but-plain, and engineering masterpieces, yet mundane. Thanks for the photo!

Michelle Hodgson-Gregory:
I've never seen that either!!!!!!!! HOW MANY times have I been to that station???

As a profound trivial tie-in, the day before a wheelbarrow that is chained to the ground at Hampton Court Station travelled (its image, anyway) to Albuquerque, a banana was given a motorbike ride in Vietnam... This is drectly related to the wheelbarrow above. Okay, INdirectly related, but probably as close as Albuquerque and a Vietnamese motor bike, all in a two-day period can be!!!

Snow in New Jersey
