New Garden Furniture

About a month ago, Rob and I bought some vintage cast-iron garden furniture in Dothan—a bench and two chairs, with a fern motif. We scraped the rust off, primed everything, and painted each piece a nice, glossy black. Last night we applied our last coat of paint, and today we finally arranged our new furniture by the pond. Now Rob and Bubbles (our neighbors’ cat) can watch the goldfish in style.

This afternoon Chip, my teddy bear, tried out one of the new chairs. In the picture above, he’s waiting for me to bring him his lunch—some pimento cheese sandwiches and Sprite arranged on a little tray, with a Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg for dessert.
