Porch painting

[Saturday: 4 miles on S. Grandview]

Our son has been in residence here with us in Debuque for a few months. And we have enjoyed having him in the house.

This week he started the job of cleaning and painting our two wooden porches, one on the back of the house toward the garage and one toward the fenced-in back yard.

He did the larger garage porch one day when his work finished early, while I was working. But today I was able to help him paint the yard porch. We are using red paint that matches what was already in place.

For the dog-exiting yard porch we got the painting done pretty quickly this afternoon then put the dogs in the car and went to a county park and hiked around for an hour or so. Then we stopped at Dairy Queen on the way home. Arriving at home we delayed the dogs from going out for a little while, but the paint was pretty dry so they didn’t have to wait long at all.
