I painted the lower half of the barn Sunday, we got some red stain at the hardware store and it only took me a couple of hours. I loved this chore, I stood out in the pasture with Red and Fate nearby and the donkeys closely watching and covered over the new plans we put in after the donkeys ate some of the others.

I went as high as I could go. Soon, Maria will get on a ladder and take care of the fading boards higher up. The barn looks good, it is great fun to paint an old barn.
