Yes, can you imagine being the kids who got to grow up and play here??? What a playground! Though they may have had to help their dad on the working end of it - so may not have enjoyed it. But our kids love junkyards and so do we.
When son was barely old enough to spell and just learning to use the computer, he made my husband a sign for his shop: "I NEVER MET A JUNKYARD I DIDN'T LIKE".
I told the owner last week he should add a campground facility to his playground... just kidding though because swarming people would ruin the experience.
Wrote this: Peace in your heart, the sun in your face, Beautiful weeds wherever there's space. Smell of old oil; the rich brown of the rust, Various animal tracks imprinted in dust.
The dark, cool shade of the tall, old trees, A gentle breeze blows through their leaves. Butterflies floating all over the place, Scared rabbits run like they're in a race.
Man flounders through waist high weeds, Tryin' to locate just the part that he needs, He's tripped-up by vines, beaten by brush Then suddenly he finds "it" - instant rush!
