Weekend Happenings and a Guessing Game

I have been very busy this weekend. 

He have visited one of our cemeteries and have two more to go to.

And, it has been soooo hot! 

On our deck thermometer, which gets direct sunlight, it was 111 degrees today.

These little baby robins seem to be doing okay, though.

Aren't they cute?

 

And, I also found a dove's nest in our grapevines. So far two eggs have been deposited in the nest.

 

There was a rumor Friday that Ripley was on sale, so we checked it out.

Sure enough, they were right. Ripley was on sale!

But, believe it or not, I never bought anything from the Courthouse lawn.

I didn't even buy any of this silvercrest Fenton or salt and pepper shakers!

We did go to a few yard sales, though, and I picked up a few things.

I saw this in the yard of one of my friends.

I would have liked to have brought it home with me, but it wasn't for sale.

Do you know what it is?

Here's another view of it.

I bet some of you know.

 

Any guesses?

I'll come back tomorrow and tell you what it is.

Here is the answer.

Okay everyone, we had some pretty good guesses. 

They said this used to be at our Capitol building a long time ago in Charleston.

That little spot on the back of it used to have a ring attached to it to hitch your horse to.

These were steps used for a lady to step up onto her horse and sit side saddle.
