Homeless collection pants

It was a rainy day today so I spent most of the day inside the house.  I turned my attention to the two pants in my '"homeless collection".  Even with more time to patch them - or maybe cause I had more time to look at them - I decided to not patch either pair.  Both pair went into the wood stove and are ash now so I can't change my mind.

I almost didn't have any pants without patches (I know! Crazy isn't it?!) but last week when working on the fence I ripped the knee of a good pair of pants and now have a patch on the knee.

It seems as if I can not have a pair of pants without a patch.
It won't be long next year before I have a new pair of pants to restart my homeless collection.
