A Day Staining Deck Rails
A precious few days of upper 70s temps and sunny, windy weather meant we could work on outdoor projects for a short time. Darcy busied himself installing vents and staining counters and chairs for his Tiny Home, while I stained the deck railings– a tedious chore requiring a great deal of precision and patience. Luckily, I'm anal retentive enough to be perfect for such a job! I started it yesterday afternoon and made it the sole focus of my entire day today until I had it pretty much finished.
As I stained, I listened to birds chirping and the wind making the deep rushing sound in the fir trees surrounding our new home with great satisfaction. It sounds almost like a large waterfall at a distance or something. There's nothing as wonderful as the sound of fir trees in the wind!
The cats have settled in well, going outside and inside freely- realizing that this is where they live now. All of them seem to prefer it to our last home of White Gables. Little Sadie, who loves the outdoors so much, is especially taken with it, and loves to explore the near-by forest and hunt for mice and such under the tiny house and around the many nooks and crannies around our land and the next door neighbor's as well.
One thing is for sure, I'm getting tons of exercise with all this activity. Lifting, carrying, reaching, stretching, stooping, brushing, banging, fixing, pulling, pushing, dragging, etc. I keep sending myself into 1 and 2 day flares by over-doing it– but its hard not to when a job requires just a little more umph out of me!
Now I'm exhausted and going to find my bed and pour myself into a coma!
