Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

Teresa has had a doctors appointment this afternoon scheduled so we called last week and order a half ton of feed. The forecast has been iffy so they are good enough to hold an order until we can pick a dry day to haul the feed. Looks like rain the rest of the week so today was a good day and the feed is all in barrels and cans.

I like the light and dark of walnut, to me it is prettier than dyed to be all dark.

A feed run before the deluge, we do that too, watching the sky to beat the rain. I used to drive an hour for feed. We bought me a 2003 Ford Focus wagon. I drove that little car to death before I wrecked it on 610 Freeway in Houston, LOL. Anyway, I could pack 750 pounds of feed in that car. The people at the feed store thought I was nuts. I said what's the difference between sacks of feed and 4 big fat people? Sure, the back end got a little squatty, but the feed stayed dry!

I don't stain wood, other than pine doors to kinda (poorly) match the cherry trim. Cherry doors would be WAY too expensive. If it isn't going to be painted I choose wood I like the looks of, that would be cherry, red birch and maple. Just picky about the color variation within a piece and the surroundings. If it is going to be painted, clear pine is OK.

The natural look of wood is what makes wood so beautiful. I think some wood needs stain but if you find a piece that is beautiful on it's own then I'll leave that unstained. About the only thing it'll get is a clear coat of polyurethane.

I especially like wood that isn't perfect. Give me a slab of wood that has a know right in the middle it a hole from nails in it and that imperfection points or the perfections if the wood even more!

Strange weather here today. A little while ago it was sleeting and right at 32 degrees. Temperature stayed the same but there are severe thunderstorms just to the south of us.
