Hello Orchidians,

    Can't you imagine how precious that metal sheet was, once it was
    forged??  I'll bet they used every bit and were very careful to get
    the most out of it before collecting the scraps to melt again. 

    Reminds me of how valuable fabric was when one had to gather the
    fibers and process them to produce thread, then weave or knit the
    threads into cloth. Helps you comprehend how much time and effort it
    took to produce a simple piece of clothing.  No wonder common people
    owned few clothes and wore them out. 

    Now think about making a car from scratch!! 

    Judy in Kansas where my strawberries are putting on, but not
    ripening yet.  Time to plant tomatoes.
