Knott finds

Here are a couple of items salvaged from the farm in Knott, Texas, just outside of Big Spring. The old milk pail was sitting on the back porch and looked like it could do with a bit of a spruce up. When I got it back to Cloverleaf, I decided to keep it in its original state and fill it with a kangaroo paw--a plant I had admired but couldn't think of a spot.

The cow skull is not my usual cup of tea for garden decor, but the story of Buckethead being the Shaw family pet cow really struck a chord with Tom and he wanted to make sure that someone 'continued to look after it'. I guess that someone is Tom which means me. Nestled up with some Texas bluebonnets makes it look a little less creepy. Hope you like your new resting place, Buckethead!
