Now, I do indeed realize that most people would
not consider 2 full days of rain a good thing... especially if those two days are Friday and Saturday... but me?
GLO.RI.OOOOOOUS!
Why?
Because a good soaking rain ANYTIME in preparation for Spring is a wonderful thing.
I am shocked as to how many of our plants and trees actually made it from last year... it was a tough, hot fall and I feared most died before they went dormant. Just not possible to stretch hoses all over the pastures to water and pamper each plant.
I can't express the joy that most of my Quinces survived and are now blooming! Happy, happy, happy!
And the other reason I am giddy for the 2 day weekend rain... I was able to trap the family 'muscles' indoors for a personal project, tee-hee!

There is no money for projects right now... so this task was FREE, and actually got done very quickly.
I must insert here that Savannah, also considered the 'muscles' of the family, helped... but somehow I didn't get a pic of her. She was a master at removing tack strips and staples.
And here it is, CLEAN SLATE! I know now how I'm going to create the 'look' of paneling at a fraction of the cost, it will cost $7 a sheet and I need 11 sheets. So I may have to buy one sheet at a time and cut/install... but I am determined to keep this project moving forward, even if it IS at a snail's pace. Afterall, as my sil Alisha will agree, once us gals get a project thought through and on graph paper... there is no changing our minds, snicker!!!

Nate always braces himself when the graph paper comes out... heehee. :) Can't wait to see the studio done! And, remind me of the blog for the paneling, I still am having a hard time visualizing, but you KNOW I love me some paneling, especially on the cheap!
p.s. the rain WAS heavenly. :)
I do many a project at a snail's pace. Somehow it is more rewarding when it is FINALLY done than those I can do quickly. Can't wait to see your progress. :-)
Jealous. Very jealous.
