Well here is Snips gorgeous take on weathered.
Isn't it wonderful!? I love it and it's made even better by the fact that Nicole can't even recall what the rest of this house looks like, she only looks at the stairs when she passes by. So even if something is so weathered it can keep it's original beauty and sometimes even become improved by the process.
I had to giggle when Nicole sent me her photo - my subject is almost the same colour!
I like how not only the bench is weathered but the snow surrounding it is as well! So my brain may be weathered but I did manage to get, what I think is a pretty sweet snapshot.
Have a great week and remember to appreciate the weathered things in your life - they show us perseverance and history and everlasting beauty.
