A Day OF Rest!

I listened to the radio this morning!

Today, we didn’t accomplish much.  We walked around the garden, removed the tarp from our Christmas storage containers, and cleaned our garden workbench.

I brushed a heavy varnish onto the workbench to protect it from the elements.

  • Tung oil is a natural oil recognized by craftsmen to offer the ultimate hand-rubbed finish for all fine woods; just wipe on and allow the oil to cure at room temperature.
  • Permeates – Unlike other finishes that form a film on the wood’s surface, tung oil penetrates deep into the wood fibers, cures to a flexible, non-oily solid, and becomes part of the wood itself
  • Protects – Resistant to moisture, alcohol, oil, and everyday wear for lasting beauty and protection; lasts many times longer than mineral oil and wax-based products

Mary made a delightful brunch and, later on, dinner, which we enjoyed while watching TV.

We talked to Colleen, who was enjoying 18″ of snow.  We had dinner, and Mary did some mending; besides everything else, she is an excellent seamstress!

A lady of many talents!

I changed the house colors to a Valentine’s motif.

A static view!

The colors change from one side of the house to the other!

I finished the daily diary and headed to bed around 10:00 pm; tomorrow is a big week for us!

About Paul

Just an old retired guy trying to finish out my last years on this planet. I lost my best friend and wife in early 2020. I was blessed again by reconnecting with Dr. Mary Côté, a long-time friend. Mary and I got married July 28th, 2021, and are enjoying life together and plan to spend the rest of our lives being a blessing to our friends and family.
