Odds and Ends

As this was a busy weekend, I didn't have much time to take on projects. So, aside from finishing what fencing I could until materials ran out(still stopped by Lowe's being out of stock) - I cut the grass and painted the barn door.

Now, cutting the grass seems like a small chore. After 2 1/2 hours of straight mowing and having to refill the mower's gas tank three times, I no longer thought of it as a small chore. I started after work and the sun went down before I was finished.

On Saturday afternoon, after working at the Children's Fishing Derby on behalf of the Odd Fellows all day, I was too tired to do anything taxing, so I did an 'art project'. I'd purchased the supplies to paint the barn door months ago, but the weather wasn't good enough for outdoor painting. It only took a couple hours to get the design all laid out and painted. I've only had one comment so far from a neighbor that it looked good. I'm sure I'll hear more as time goes on. Here is a picture of the finished door:
