Well back to staining wood instead of sewing!

Spouse finishing deck rails. Making them pretty, pretty not your normal old rails. But guess who gets to stain all of the wood going into this project. That is correct - me. Well with this cold I have had no hearing for over a week so since staining wood does not require a lot of need to hear anyone - it is not so bad doing it. Sewing does not require hearing either but husbands commute keeps him away 13 hours everyday so I am glad to help him out.

I do give credance to us having come from the ocean as eyes, ears, nose and throat are all connected. I think our ears use to be gills, why else would they drain into the throat. At least that is what Doc told me (the draining not the gills) and since I had strep throat it is still swollen thus the ears are still full of fluid making it impossible to hear. What a bore,

Included a picture of part of the extended back garden. Moved three rose bushes from front garden to here. Also planted  Dinner Plat Dahlias and a Peony. They have to make an appearance. Since we live in the Appalacians rock are plentyfull and make a good border. The black thing in the middle is where the bubbler or fountain is going to reside. Bought a tiller for $75.00 bucks from Appalachian Lawn and Garden and it works like a top. The only way to get the ground stirred up. The thing is no beauty however since it is used, rusted and very old. But so am I and I still work

.

May life treat you well,
