Barrel of Fun

I was sitting on my porch swing the other morning....minding my own business and trying to enjoy a coffee while madly swatting killer mosquitoes....

when my gaze kept being drawn to this barrel.

I had good intentions of cutting it in half and 

making flower boxes out of it to sit at the end of my driveway.

(Thank you dear sister-in-law who gave it to me FIVE years ago to do just that.)

Of course...it still sits where I plunked it, 

~or rather, rolled it~

when we were building our home.

(Another..."I will get around to it one day" project.)

Now the barrel sits like a permanent fixture. 

And I can't seem to find it in me to move it.

Now since that Barrel-Staring morning, I cannot seem to get the

Beer Barrel Polka

(click above link to listen. Or not.)

out of my head!

{A catchy little tune driving me a tad batty.}

I think feel a backyard Polka-party coming on...

(feel free to bring your accordion;)
