Cast Iron Bench

I was almost home from work one day and I glanced at my neighbors house and she was putting out her trash for the next morning. She had put out this fabulous vintage cast iron bench frame. Needless to say I made a quick turn and staked my claim on it. She was baffled why I wanted it since it was just the frame. 

Really????? 

Dear husband can basically fix, repair spruce up most things. 

And all I needed was wood put on. The bolts were still attached tho he opted for new ones. 

Anyway below is the finished product. 

I painted it, correction he painted it but I picked out the  color, 
which of course is the most important part, right?? 
A wonderful roof tile red.....

Notice the crunchy end of the wrapper? 

I must have been holding on too tight!

I have to say I didn't share any of it.......

It's not very big and it's so good....

TRIPLE YUM!!!

This picture made me pause

It took my breath away

It amazed me that friend Susie captured this at the perfect moment

She's an early riser and obviously awake enough to be observant!.

So now I get to share it will all of you.

Unfortunately, what it didn’t do is make me want to get up earlier than I already do. 

I just don’t think I will ever be a “morning person”.
