Quilt Barn (9)

Linking up with Tom again this week for his Barn Collective Series.

Another Barn Quilt from Garrett county Maryland where I live.

The owner of this white washed barn is Kenney Signs, Inc.  

It is near Finzel between Rte 40 and I68.

This block is the 'Circle of Life in Garrett County'

and depicts the four distinct seasons we have.

This block was the winning entry in the Quilt Block contest.

It was designed by Ginni Neff.

Saturday I was up and out of the house at 6:30 but not to walk.

We were in the car.

Ken went down to Tomonium (3 hour drive one way)for the big train show 

there at the fairgrounds.

On the way he dropped me off at my friend Mary Jo's house and we

spent the day together.  Had a great visit and we had lunch out.

Ken picked me up on the way home.

 Sunday I woke up late at 7:30 so didn't get to walk yesterday morning either.  

I like to be home at 7:45 to give me enough time to get ready for church. 

Sunday afternoon was beautiful. Sunny and 70 degrees. 

It seemed more like spring so I went for my walk then.
My neighbor Sharon two doors down from me was out walking too.
I walked 3 miles on my own and 2 with Sharon.

This morning I was back to my regular walk.
It was 42 degrees and very dark and I walked around town
under the street lights.  When it lightened up a bit and the sky had that
glow to it, I walked the cemeteries and ball park loop.

Didn't see anyone else out walking.
I saw Chuck from our church in the parking lot of the post office.
He is an electrician and was doing a job at the PO.
He was surprised I had already walked 6 miles this morning.

 It wasn't til after I was back home that the sun came up over the mountain.
Sunrise was 7:45.
Walked 6.3 miles

 I made blueberry pancakes for breakfast and then we headed out to Happy
Trails to get started putting the 'slab wood' siding on the cabin.

Here we have put the starter piece on and two boards.

Here's a closer look.

We measured, cut, painted and then put up the boards.
The paint is watered down and is like a white wash except this is blue.
By lunch time we had this much finished.

Look at the size of these boards.

By 4:00 we were ready to quit for the day and this is how we left it.

We got MORE done on this first day than I though we would,

but we got LESS done than Ken thought we would.

 

Came home got cleaned up and then headed out to Brenda's

for half price pizza night.

Stopped at Lowe's and another stop at the Shop and Save

to get some ice cream before heading back home. 

Life is Good.

A happy day to you.

"Many people, who should have been rejoicing for what they've achieved,

are rather regretting just because of one reason;

they looked at what someone else was doing.

Comparison eliminates contentment

and then kills inner joy."
