As Mia and I rolled them around the side street to our back yard gate we pondered as to what we would use them for.... it was too easy to arrive at a thousand great ideas...and of course I had already thought of many myself.
A comfortable perch in a shady spot for eating some Spring frozen yoghurt....
A small table for some outdoor drawing, sketching and letter writing.....
A handy spot to place veges for dinner and some cut flowers for our table while distracted by something else to quickly do or look at in the garden. (I have to add that this kale gave a deliciously sweet flavour to our chow mein this evening!)
Left ala naturale (how I usually like things) or with an added lick of paint (which will be the sensible thing to preserve them) they will be a handy and rather funky addition to our yard. I envision them being used quite a bit for cold summer drinks and ice blocks outside this season (and maybe just the odd wine or beer), and I also anticipate them being moved under and around another exciting soon to be built addition.
So thank you lovely neighbours.....not only are they donating these but we are also going to fill our hungry bellies together again tomorrow night.
There are a thousand different reasons why I adore our neighbourliness.....

Oh what a great addition to the garden and yard! I absolutely love multipurpose items like that. I recently saw one of those spools put to use indoors with an added upholstered top. Enjoy all the open ended possibilities. The garden is looking so green and bountiful in the background.
A perfect addition for you backyard oasis!! I love those rustic, multi purpose spools.
I'm sure we had various sizes at the school playground that we loved jumping off.
I loved those, I think my Mum had one or two.
