Home Ground #3
Bozeman, Montana
2024

I bought this old iron bed frame in 1970 at a garage sale (for $3 as I recall) the first time I moved away from home when I was starting college. It came with an open spring foundation and ratty mattress which were immediately discarded in favor of a cast-off mattress and box springs from my parents. It’s been with me ever since. At some point I converted it to hold a queen-size rather than full mattress, but is otherwise unchanged. It was quite old in 1970 so is really old now. The light (great for reading in bed) is also old although we’ve only had it for some 40 years after purchasing it at one of those sales I referred to in yesterday’s post.
