painting staining and waxing

Bit breezy and overcast day to start, and yep I am sore even with the hot soak and arnica rub. Time to apply more arnica and get moving. I did run the meds out to the horse shed when they came in mid morning. Then I was on town staining the first coat on Sharon's table.

left is stained, right is bare wood

I took a blanket out to cover my harvest from sunlight but want them to dry before bad weather comes, how I wish we had a cold cellar

While it was left to dry I moved on to waxing the ornate one. Sharon stopped just after 1 to decide on table base color and have a brief visit. The sun popped out finally but only briefly. I used my furniture mover to haul a couple planters to the garden shed and the ones I will over winter to the garage door and leave out for a day more? they are calling for rain and snow in the next couple days ;(

I rearranged more pieces in the garage and swept and stock looks to be dwindling and moving! Time to paint the table base the warm white I just have been using.

I cut the edges in all perfect then decide to paint the underside white too 

As it dried I painted the "new to the paint table" frame I scrubbed up awhile back the pretty beach glass color  then dry brushed the red I have been using on the salt and pepper sets. It looks pretty neat and seeing I only had a wee bit of the blue left I scrubbed up another pepper grinder and did it the same colors.

I was wet distressing the table base when Britt and Cooper arrived after 6:30. She picked up flea/dewormer meds on her way past the vet clinic in town I ordered from. She also had horse wormer for miss Roo who will be getting it for the next 5 days as well as new eye ointment for Bird. Looks like my horse chores got a bit longer each day.

We quadded out to the herd to disperse the new meds then back to the house to give dogs the flea pill. And just like that B and Cooper were loaded up and headed home in less then an hour as the darkness began to fall as well as rain lightly. 

I dark waxed the frame and pepper grinder (pics tomorrow) and painted the table leaf edges I forgot while waiting for Lola then called it a day in the paint shop. The beach glass jewelry box post went live. I watched To all the Boys I loved Before, the rain started around 11 and went all night in a slow rain.
