...there will be enough warmth in the evening to sit outside with this stand embellished with its lanterns. Now wouldn’t that be grand?

In the meantime, it stands here getting an increasing level of rust patination. I used to think that was a bad thing but I’m increasingly of the view it’s a good thing. Does that mean my standards are slipping or that I’m increasingly interested in the value of aging? Possibly a bit of both…who knows?
