Holiday Porch Pot

I have created a porch pot. It might be a Wisconsin thing. Or a South Dakota thing. The two women who inspired me to make this are South Dakota natives, but one of them now lives in Wisconsin. It feels like a Minnesota thing to me. Now it's a Washington thing. The container came from North Dakota by way of Arizona, and possibly points in between. It's a beat-up coal scuttle that I inherited from my mother. Probably the last place it was used was in my grandfather's blacksmith shop in Alamo, North Dakota in the sixties. I declare that a grand tradition of porch pot placement should be adopted everywhere! Porch pots for all! I do love this time of year.
