Rust Never Sleeps...

Sitting outside enjoying a lovely warm fall day...

Rust Never Sleeps

Because I find rusty stuff attractive...I would NOT want these as my fuseboxes, however! Yikes!

Machine Dreams: Grilles

Shiny grilles, rusty grilles, tractor grilles, car grilles...

(Whoops, now that I look at it, the ultra-cool yellow thing isn't a grille, I don't think...)

Machine Dreams: Red Orange Yellow

In October, as 2014's Fun Fall Outing, we went to the Antique Gas and Steam Engine Museum in Vista.

Oh yeah! Tons of cool old gas engines sputtering and sparking, rust (which y'all know I love), the smell of gasoline fumes wafting through the air, lots of old guys in overalls...fantastic (no, really, we loved it!). And there was a really good band performing. Fun fun fun.

I'll be posting about it all week; it was hard to find a way to divide up the pix, so for today I've chosen color. Enjoy!

Rusty Lace

I always stop and take pictures of rusty stuff...people must think I'm crazed. But look how pretty this is!

Deep in the Heart of Texas: Round Top, Day Four

 

{BLOGGER! DRIVING ME CRAZY!} Above, the Carmine (pronounced "Car-meen" Dance Hall. More antiques. 

Also above: Lunch, sold by the {German name} supporters of preserving the dance hall. Once again, I had beans and potatoes. And pie. Chess pie, this time. Pretty yum.

I can't seem to put text anywhere but here--argh! 

Below: a sawmill...who knew they still existed?

 Lickskillet Days (?!) in Fayetteville. Fun fact: we were in Fayette County, which shares a name with the county in which Lexington, Kentucky, is located--my hometown!

 More cool signage...

 The Fayetteville Courthouse (I think)...note the "air conditioning" provided by the building being up on blocks; we saw many buildings with that feature.

 It was indeed a general store...we bought ice cream. Of course.

Rusty tractors, always a good photo op!

Last day in this part of Texas...

Some Odd Things I've Acquired Recently: No. 2

A rusty stool (to put a pot on in the garden; also, remember, dear readers, I like rust). Price: $1.00.

Rust...

...it never sleeps, you know?
