A man, a bucket and some soap

Doesn't the title sound like a commercial? {smile}

First let me say these are not the greatest photos. I tried from all angles and directions and this is

what came out the best so what you see is

what you get.

That being said... Don't you just love my bucket and

soap holder for a certain someone to use so they

can clean up outside?

Okay, okay...I may use it occasionally too.

{ I had a lightbulb moment when Marietta posted

this photo above that was originally from

the Country Living website}

I knew I had this Martha Stewart enamel

two piece soap dish stashed somewhere and that

hubby could make a bracket for it.

I had the hook laying in the potting shed,

the bucket was sitting on my deck and I have had

the towel for a long time.

Honey...can you do something for me? It is very

simple and won't take long...

He gave me *the look* again (I think it is called the

I love you look...lol) and off to his shop he went.

I was mowing the lawn and next thing I knew it

was all fastened to the pole. yay!

What you don't know is...there is a water hydrant on the

other side of this pole and I was trying to mow between

the roses bushes and the hydrant. BIG MISTAKE! I always seem to get hung up somewhere. I was trying

to be very careful , but that hydrant just reached out

and snatched my mower! :)

Of course I yelled for hubby! Can you just imagine

the scene? He comes walking over , shaking his head

and laughing.

There is a story here because I have hit other things

in the past, but we won't go there. This is why I think

yard mowing should be left up to MEN! ha. ha.

BUT I will say the very first day that we purchased this

mower( brand new mind you) a few years ago, hubby

came home and hopped on it, threw it in gear,

started mowing and promptly hit my fence!!

So I am not the only one who has this problem. He says he was used to the other mower we had

and the reverse was all turned around.

yea , sure ...whatever. lol.

After we were in the house last night and I was thinking

about my new installation I wondered what would

happen to the pail in a big wind. Will it go sailing off

to the neighbor's house? I guess we will just have to

wait and see.

I do love how it turned out for an

imprompto throw together.

Oh , and I will not be leaving this towel outside to

get ruined. I must find another vintage one soon.

Happy Thursday!

Blessings~
