Giant "Watering Can"
My husband Charles made this giant "watering can" that sets in a small field where I like to grow wildflowers. It's built from a 55-gal. barrel that's painted Ford blue, with Allis Chalmers orange polka dots. Charles also made 12 to 15-ft. tall flowers by welding old 4-ft. dia. wheel rake heads to lengths of pipe set in concrete. One of the flowers is double headed. We painted the rake wheels bright yellow, except for copper in the center portion. (Barbara Kribbs, 18230 N.
