The weather has been absolutely perfect these past few days and I mean perfect!! It almost hit 70 degrees today with a light wind AND being in November – who could ask for anything more?
So I decided that tomorrow I’m going to do some painting. I know it’s kind of late in the season, but honestly if the good weather is only supposed to last until Thursday this week, and tomorrow is already Wednesday, my options of getting it done is pretty limited. It’s funny because when we finally got the farm all painted a couple of years ago we made a deal that we were going to gradually paint things as we needed them and not wait so long. Yea, we really haven’t painted anything since! So much for reaching that goal.
Daryl and I both had places to go after work tonight, so we got a little bit later start at getting things lined up for tomorrow. I’m taking a half of a day of vacation to get a LOT of stuff painted and the amount of time to get all that done – well let’s say I think I’ll be running around the farm. And I mean literally running! Some people take vacation days to go shopping, travel with their friends, go golfing… but I’m taking my vacation time to do some painting and to be honest I’m really looking forward to it.
So like I said Daryl was helping me tonight and got all the ladders around and spent quite a bit of time stirring a couple of 5 gallon buckets of paint. We had two half of pails and one full pail. I sure hope it’ll be enough! 
As for me, I worked on scraping the old paint off some of the buildings and fences that are on my list to be painted tomorrow. All I can say is Thank Goodness for yard lights! Because it was dark when I finished, and really was grateful for the extra light in the yard. At first I thought I’d get my flashlight that goes on your head, but the neighbor was in the field by us and I’m thinking he would just wonder what in the world kind of neighbors we are. I still debated on it because I thought well he really wouldn’t know if it was me or Daryl 🙂 But it didn’t take that long so I just used the yard light instead. I think I got most of it scraped and I guess I’ll find out tomorrow just how well of a job that I did.
