A junk trifecta

Over the weekend, the Southern Man replaced several rotting boards on our outside deck...I helped here and there...but it was mostly his sweat and labor.  As I was trimming one of the boards to fit, I noticed the pile of nails that he had pulled out of the rotting boards...they were twisted...and contorted...and rusted...a winning trifecta!

Now I know...and you know...that I have been working to whittle down my junk obsession...and even though my horoscope for the day had this to say...

I just can't give it all up cold turkey...so I picked out 10 nails to keep...

I'm thinking that they'll be the basis of another scientific themed collage...defining some sort of mathematical problem...

Or the beginning of a theme dealing with  hard work/handiwork...or they can just be a great collection...of junk...
