Metal

Electra

We bought a car today. It's a 1982 Buick Electra. And it only has about 120,000 miles on it. Compared to the rest of the cars we've owned, that's like brand new!

Shovel-back bird

I spotted the extremely rare Shovel-back bird on our evening walk today. Do you dig it?

Rocking chair and dulcimer

A mountain dulcimer sits on an antique wooden rocking chair next to a window.

License

An automobile license plate from Kansas 1978.

Found this in the garage after we bought our house. From the year I was born.

Chopping block

An axe is embedded in a chopping block awaiting its next job.
