Railing

I normally pick vegetables from the garden in the morning when it is cool. But this morning, being a Sunday, we went to church, and also it rained almost all night last night so I figured it would be pretty wet and muddy. Instead I went this afternoon and spent nearly an hour picking 3 rows of romas.

When I returned a surprise awaited me ---- see the photos!

Now we are trying to decide whether to paint the log, or to leave it in its natural state. It is covered by the overhang so it won't get rained on. What do you think??
We hope this will be useful to older folks, and especially to Mama.
