Painting Barn Siding ~ Seeds Started and other Tidbits
In the midst of moving everything from room to room, in order to get floors repaired, my cut barn siding boards were unburied.
I cleaned them up with vinegar water, and let them dry for a few days. I had the brainy idea to paint words on them for a craft show addition. These boards have been floating around the house for several years (like about 5 years now), so it was on the "get'r done' list.
The power went out around 8am yesterday, and it never came back on until after noon. I was lucky I had just brewed some coffee.
There was an accident with poles down, wires hanging, and then a substation shut down for a while.
Luckily, my portable charger was charged, and I could not only charge my phone, but my neck lamp too.
All done, so the only thing to do was to read or crochet. When power goes out, our water pump goes out. I could not clean or cook.
