The Little Red Barn

Once upon a time there was a little barn that was not red at all. It was, in fact, a very weathered, very dull, very forlorn looking blue/grey color.
We finally took pity on the poor thing and decided to give it a face lift. The white trim came first. Now you could see the cute little barn-like "X" on the front doors. But we didn't have any red paint. . . . .

. . . so our dear friend Mr. Bryson came to our rescue and offered us his left over "Barn Red" paint that he had used for his chicken coop! Being a master barn painter, he came over to show us how it was done. We are so thankful for his help and for the use of his paint! It sure was tricky painting in between those "X's!"
Here we are hard at work. (in the HOT June sun!)

A Happy Barn painter.

Our friend Theresa came over and helped us finished the back and east side of the barn. Thanks to all the help and hard work, we were able to finish the whole thing in one day!

And there is the Little Red Barn!
