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