Global Warming Minnesota Style

Greetings from the Tundra,
Some people ask, can you really leave this beautiful furniture outside all year long? The bench in the photo is an antique we found in a remote village of Java, Indonesia. It now resides in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota at JL's sister, the Thorsgaard's home. The photo is of our daughter Eva and her friend on the second day of winter, December 22nd.

This bench is left outside year round and like all teak furniture, it fades to a beautiful gray patina with no up keep.
Getting out of the Arizona desert and up in a Minnesota winter makes it really feel like the Holidays. Enjoy the season.
