A photo story

A shed sign in July

I ran across this one near Lake Pend Oreille in July 2023. An old weathered shed in a grassy yard with a cardboard sign: OPEN, GARY'S BOUT REPARE, and in tiny letters underneath, Enquire Yonder Stop Sine. There was a boat on a trailer parked right next to it, so I'm guessing Gary had work lined up. It was a clear, warm midday, around 75, with almost no wind.

I don't know the story behind the sign, and I didn't need to. I just stopped and took the photo, because a sign like that is worth remembering.
