Funky Little Flower Cart

At a fundraiser a few weeks ago, a fellow mentioned to me that he had a cart with two wooden wagon wheels, perhaps a pony- or ox-cart, taking up most of the space in his garage, and he wondered if maybe we'd like it on our farm.

Finally yesterday we were able to rent a little trailer with a ramp to move the cart to our farm.  The cart is not that heavy, at least when it is empty, and it steers very easily with the two handles on the end. I have concluded that it must be a European -style flower cart.  

I am so tickled with this cart! We are working to transform our granary into a little farm store & gallery this spring, and it will be perfect to set out front and fill with flowers or vegetables or pile with pumpkins and squashes in the fall.

Thanks so much for thinking of us when you decided to free up your garage, John and Carol!
