Burning Through The Barn

Busy weekend. Woke up early yesterday and took Lisa to a knitting class in Northampton. Ran by Home Depot and got the last of the 1x3 and 1x4s to finish the barn trim. Stopped by the bookstore and browsed for a few minutes. Drove back home and painted half of the trim. Very dark green; I thought it'd go well with the roof. Drove back to Northampton and picked up Lisa, then went back home and worked on day-job related things until midnight.

Up again somewhat early Sunday. Went straight outside and painted the rest of the trim. Started on a batch of bread while waiting for the paint to dry. Worked like a banshee cutting and nailing trim while the baby chicks jumped up and down to get a look at the goings-on. But I do believe it's just about there. Wrapped things up just as it got dark, made dinner for the kids, and now it's back to work on day-job related things, almost certainly beyond midnight.

Sigh.

Leaves are turning, geese (the flying kind) are leaving, and geese (the driving kind) are coming into the state. Must be fall again. Believe our first freeze will be tonight.
