Didn't do what I thought I would :-)

Isn't that the way it goes? I was going to go out and weed and trim in my main garden. I got sidetracked by spying a decorative piece of iron. DH helped me hang it on the privacy fencing, over the Victorian wire bench in our new little arbor covered seating area at nw corner of main garden.

Then I got the idea to paint the front surface to make it show up. After I did that, then I wanted to paint the bench. That took the rest of the morning. My eyes were buggy and my body pooped from standing there painting all that wire. But, I was in the shade, and I wasn't sweating as much as if I had done my original plans. This was more fun, artistic and somewhat relaxing.

I took two pictures outside, and then one from the bedroom window. I think I still want to put another coat on the heart decorative iron piece. to make the hearts stand out, maybe on the sides also. It used to be part of a chandelier. We paid $10 for the bench, many, many years ago at a local flea market.







That's it for now. I'm ready to get horizontal and read for a bit.

Have a nice evening and a nice restful sleep.
