Charlie E Posted Thursday at 02:58 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 02:58 AM After cutting this I sat on my front porch and got still and quiet. My favorite squirrel got within a few feet from me. I can tell him apart because he's more brown than gray and has a skinnier tail. Lots of good things happen when we take the time to be still.

jerry walters Posted Thursday at 07:35 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:35 PM That is really nice Charlie. When I go for a walk in the mornings I do not have my phone in my ear, I enjoy the sounds of the birds, squirrels, and yes even the sound of the leaves rustling in the breeze.

Where I live, there is the constant roar of traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live close to traffic too, I've just learned to ignore it. Unless you go into the wilderness you are not going to get away from traffic. I see you retired from the Air Force. I wish I would have stayed in. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I’m sure I didn’t invent this process but in a lot of cases, like this one, the backer doesn’t stain as dark as I’d like. So I take a can of flat black spray paint and sort of fog it from a couple of feet away, then lightly wipe it with 0000 steel wool and repeat till I like the contrast. Then I spray it with a satin clear enamel. Works for me anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
