Communing With Rope

Spring almost summerin this Maine coastal town:
blooming rope
!
I didn't need rope, but this display made me wish I did. I stood there for a long time admiring the colors, wondering what I might use some for.  I couldn't decide.
When I joined my husband at the checkout, I saw that he had chosen a length of red and yellow rope.  
"What's it for?"
"Dunno.  Something."
Love that length of rope. Not sure why.
