Mom's wheelborrow


I have often thought about buying Mom a new wheelbarrow. But really, what is wrong with this one? It is a little bent up and rusty, but way more user friendly than the new ones that are either cheap plastic or oversized industrial types.


This wheelborrow is made for a women. You can't put more on it than you can move. It is not made for someone that is impatient, or in a hurry.


This well worn, efficient garden implement has always just sat in the yard, usually half full of spent flower stalks, or discarded daylilly roots. There is not a parking spot for it in the garage. This lovely old wheelbarrow is part of the landscape beside Mom's flower garden.
