Love this! Perfect use for retired vehicles! Great find and capture! l/f
Martha Sherman replied:
Thank you so much, Alana! Old trucks can have a lot of charm, and with the addition of a garden in its bed I think it's wonderful. I need to find more!

Martha Sherman replied:
Thank you so much, Michael! I love this truck in all its summer and fall glory, and I'm sad when it doesn't have plants in the late fall and winter. This reuse of the truck is just perfect.
Martha Sherman
Thank you, Wiggy. I think this is the best use for an old truck. IT does attract your attention to the motel it's next to.
Martha Sherman
Thank you so much, Neli! The plantings on the truck vary from spring to fall, and so does the color of the corn in the background. I thought it was a great representation of fall.
Rick Davis

Martha Sherman replied:
Thank you most kindly, Rick, for your wonderful comments. I love the fall also.
Martha Sherman
Thank you so much for these kind words, Gary. I think this is a brilliant use of the truck, and I enjoy how it changes during the year.
