Tires?

When I was growing up, both of my grandmother's had multiple tires sprinkled about their yards.  Each was painted with colorful displays of perennials.  I thought they were tacky and countrified. However, as I've aged......I'm kinda liking them.....here are a few things you can do with discarded tires that don't involve a landfill or ditch....these projects sure don't look like my granny's tires!
