Forgotten project.

Usually, I sand and re-stain my outside table and chairs at the beginning of summer, in June. Of course, I draw the project out a bit, just for the fun of it.
This Summer I totally forgot to do my table and chairs, so I'm doing it now, before the rains come. Of course, my child laborer is helping me.
Here's a picture of one of the chairs, with before, during (sanded) and after showing. I'm using Watco Walnut Danish oil as my "stain" this time around.
Did you not do anything you usually do this Summer? I also never made it to Montana. Sigh.

Oh yes, I had a million things I wanted to do but did not. 
That is a nice color of stain.

I never once set up the tent in the yard. Of course, it was horribly hot most of the summer and there was no way we were using the firepit, and they would have wanted to toast marshmallows if I put the tent up.
We didn't camp anywhere else either, and didn't go to Yosemite.

@TheHorse Last summer we did the 10 States and Back in 10 Days road trip, so maybe that's why we had a quiet summer.

I never made it to the local zoo. Le sigh.

When summer hits, the kids and I are usually on the go go go all day, every day. But this year we did less activities outside the home and kicked it more often at home (that's the way they wanted it . . . I guess they are growing up!). So less was more during the summer

You didn't make it to Montana and raise your dental floss?? 
I had a lot of things undone this summer, mainly because I had a surprise two-month layoff from work.

Yeh, I didn't go outside! Also, usually I take at least a short trip, didn't do that. I guess that was part of not going outside. I like that stain, Horse.

We had a pretty cool summer so I have to say what summer? Now we are having some Indian summer weather.

We're just coming into summer now we're back in Australia and I'm about to make a list of things we need to do. We still have a few weeks where we're allowed to burn so we'll be raking and burning leaves and trying to make the house area safer if there should be a bush fire.

That's a great stain color. I didn't garden this summer like I wanted. Oh well there is always next year.

We had such a weird summer that I hardly did any of the normal things I do, I am just moving onto to fall and hopefully next year I will catch up.
