armoire

Another piece of furniture I made years ago in my shop was an Armoire. The wood I used to make the doors, was knotty pine. The sides and solid back was made from 100 year old White Oak. Let me tell you, that Oak was hard as nails to sand, and I was sure glad when it was finished. It was one of those jobs you wished you never started. But it got done, and the customer was very happy.

Wells of Yesteryear

Awhile back my wife and I were out enjoying Nature when we came upon an old Spring Fed Well. Seeing it my wife and I sat down and ate our lunch, with our minds wondering how many people used to come to it for water. We even had a drink, as the water inside was crystal clear. We enjoy seeing things like that, so I thought I would share. GW

You Can see where the water on the left comes in from a spring.
Wood Barrel used to catch water.  Has lid to keep things out.

Good Morning Port Loring

So another not so bad day here waking up. Temperatures are pretty good sitting at 0.1 C | 32.18 F But things are supposed to change they say, with some freezing rain early Sunday morning, then strong winds with snow and blowing snow Sunday night into Monday morning . So it might pay to stay inside and relax for the next couple days. Highway 522 is bare and dry so far this morning, and we did see a wee bit of sunshine for a while. With that I am heading off for my breakfast and will let the day unfold around me. It’s nice to be able to sit back and let things happen. We found that at this time in life we don’t let people or things bother us anymore. It’s not worth getting upset over trivial things. Have a great day. GW
