An Old Screen Door

I love the texture of old wood. In our modern world, we would be compelled to paint and preserve such beauty. Paint is nice. But there is something about wood that connects in a way that paint cannot. I hired one of my grandsons to paint the fence around our patio. I liked the wood, but snow and rain were destroying the wood and so I wanted to preserve it. Preservation has its place, but so does old wood.
