The Chili Pot

From a distance this looked to me like a chili pot. This is on the east property and we hardly ever go to the back side there. I guess because the cattle doesn't hang around that area. When we do go that way I could see what I thought was a big chili pot and I always wondered Why someone (probably a hunter) would forget their chili pot or at least not go back to get it. A few weeks ago when we were over there and passing the chili pot I told John to stop and let me look in the chili pot to see if there is anything in it. When I pulled on the handle it was attached and the whole thing came up in my hand and the bottom was open. We had a good laugh. Now I'm asking someone to tell me what it is. I'm thinking it goes on the top of a house but I still don't know what it is doing out in the pasture.

You've got me stumped, Paula...I don't have a clue.

I just had to click reply to see what would happen. Good idea to cover a rattlesnake. Maybe we should carry it in the back of the truck and to think all these years I thought it was a chili pot.

It is good to know others are having trouble reading and oommenting that has been my problem. I thought it was my computer and I had clicked something wrong.

Looks like a pot to me with the bottom rotted out because
of being left out in the weather and stuck in the ground.
Maybe it was used by Aliens.

You got to me yesterday Paula. I went in my settings and changed embedded to pop up and that did away with the reply-comment on my blog and so far It seems to be working good. I have had others say if your comments are embedded, people can not comment on them.
