ABC Wednesday: T is for Tire

Tired tires with low tread make good tire swings.

To me it looks like the dogs are considering trying out the tire swing behind the fence below.

Penelope Postcards said...: Tire swings have a way of adding homey charm to a yard and takes us back to a slower paced era when cars were used less and backyards were used more. That last picture made me smile as it really does look as if the dogs are about to take a swing on the tire. :); May 29, 2012 at 10:32 AM

Hildred said...: Lovely, - we always had a tire swing when the children were growing up, and then later for the grandchildren, - it hung from an enormous willow tree.; May 29, 2012 at 11:56 PM
Black Jack's Carol said...: My dad built us wooden swings with THICK, scratchy (but much appreciated) ropes to hold them. We loved those swings, but i do remember thinking tires would be neat. Not a deprived childhood, though, since we did swing from a tire to drop into the local swimming hole. Fun post!; May 30, 2012 at 12:05 AM

Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪 said...: Thanks for info about Butterfly weed. May be it is only in North America. We have the swan plants for butterflies. Some one says they ( swan plant)are milk weed, but the flowers are completely different.

I didn't realise there is a meme for Today's flowers. I love flowers, I should check it out. I just found out about Camellia oil and how expensive it is. Got me excited and joke with my friend that we could process our own oil.

In 2 houses, I lived there were beautiful hydrangeas.

I like your blogs, they are like mine, a bit of everything.; May 30, 2012 at 8:03 AM
photowannabe said...: Makes me want to just jump on it and swing forever.
What a great choice for the letter T.; May 30, 2012 at 12:24 PM
