Wrought Iron Garden Furniture

I plan on freshening up my garden furniture as soon as the yellow pollen is gone. You need to prepare the pieces by wiping off all the dust and dirt. With a wire brush you need to scour all the rust spots. I will paint with a couple of coats of spray paint. Don't rush the job by spraying the paint on to heavy. Take your time and spray on a couple of coats, leaving time to dry between applications. Do it outside on a calm day. Use an old sheet, piece of cardboard, or tarp to keep paint off bottom of surface, your furniture is sitting on to be painted. Paint is a great thing to give your garden furniture a new look. Add some containers filled with flowers, greens, or even herbs. What a happy place to sit and think great thoughts...............
I have the fireplace on. It is very cold today. Normal high is 72 for this time of year. Jackie and her family were at church services. Marcy, Jackie's sister will be walking in support of cancer research. Please, if you have a chance to donated to this great cause, do it. Marcy's foot is not completely healed from a previous surgery, yet she feels motivated to walk for this great cause. People like her need our help and with more funds and prayers, hopefully a cure is found soon! Every little bit helps, even a small donation goes to a good cause. Both Jackie's and my family have been stricken by cancer. I don't know many people who have not dealt with this disease in some way. Take care!
