RUSTIC IS GOOD

I've always appreciated
the rustic look. There such
texture and character about it, isn't there?
Give me texture over slick any day,
except on maybe like a bra strap.



This is a picture of our entry way. David decided to give it a new look. We've been here a year and have not had much time for things like entry ways.

Earlier this week David cut down a huge cedar on the back of our place. It got 'hung up' in some other trees and we like to never got it to fall down on the ground. There was lots of figuring, throwing ropes way up in the tree, ropes snapping, tree not falling, David climbing up half felled tree (cracking noises!!!), David climbing down real fast and FINALLY it came crashing down. It was sad in a way, to see a tree fall. But it's not really gone, It has a new life in our entry way. It will welcome all our friends and customers. It will be the first one to say "Hello, we are so glad you are here!"
And yes, you are right, it's not finished yet, but it will be soon, if I know my David. The only problem is that Abe, beautiful, soft, freshly bathed and smelling so sweet, Abe, wants to help with gathering the small cedar (what would you call those? tines? posts?). Well, those skinnier posts that go between the big posts. And he has gotten at least four big drops of cedar sap on his hair!! Oh Abe!!!
