typewriter weathering in my parents’ yard (Waverly, PA).
maybe we should plant something in it, too, have it sprout with the springtime, grow new words and phrases....
there were some decals I should have taken close-ups of (with a better camera) before it ever went outside [the mechanism was rusted solid when given to me].

weathered typewriter (in my parents’ yard).
a friend gave me this years ago — the mechanism had already rusted solid.
In retrospect, I probably could have harvested the keycaps, first.
Not sure which was the better idea.
