Life in the Country…Branding

pano

Another lovely weekend in paradise. The rain held off until I’d painted the porches…

076

073

Some time after midnight it poured and I’m afraid there may be a price to pay. Little bubbles had formed beneath the new paint along the edges of the porch. Oh, well…live and learn. Painting’s good exercise for the brain. You can do a good bit of thinking while the brush moves back and forth, back and forth.

I’d just finished putting the rockers back in place when the Moonshiner showed up bearing a white plastic sack full of food from his granddaughter’s birthday party.

“There’s cake in there, too,” he said, nodding at the bag. “All she wanted was a John Deere tractor cake.” He beamed, ever the proud grandpa.

“Which birthday is this?” I asked.

“Second.”

Precocious child. Already knows her tractor brands.

Your porches look so inviting, Nancy. Who cares if there's a few bubbles in the paint? Paint bubbles are of no concern when you're sitting with a good book on a lazy summer afternoon going back and forth and back and forth in that porch swing. :-)
