Another painting day, ugh!


May 25 – Another great weather day, wow, 2 in a row! 
 
Almost done
After breakfast we went to the front entrance and finished painting in the yellow  It could use a second coat but really does look great compared to the faded look it had.  After returning to the RV for a short break we went to the VC.  Our neighbors brought us up  He (Randy) actually swept a lot of the ceiling in the snack/soda shed and changed the light bulbs for me.  After turning on and off quite a few breakers in various panels we got the power to all of the machines, including the lights, on.  The lights, however, only lasted about 15-20 minutes.  Will turn that problem over to the head guy tomorrow. Our neighbors left and I finished brooming the rest of the ceiling, blew out all of the snack bags lodged behind the machine and lots of leaves and dirt.  My hair was full of some nasty stuff!  That is in addition to the yellow paint I had on my forehead!

a 6 foot ladder and leaf blower.

I wiped down all of the machines and we washed down the small garage door that closes up the building.  We also did battle with what looked like a bumblebee but since he was boring hole after hole in the door frame I know it was a carpenter beetle.  Later our neighbors went back to get the ladder and the blower.  I did some more weeding in our area and spotted 2 deer in the area behind our RV.  That reminds me I didn’t mention the 2 we saw the morning we went to the Blue Ridge Parkway.  They were on the drive to the entrance gate.  Then on the parkway we saw a beautiful pheasant. 
 
Once I got my shower we sat out and enjoyed our iced coffees and a bird Bill identified as a sparrow was on the feeder and 2 hummers were doing battle over their feeder.
 
We had leftover lasagna for dinner that I brought in the freezer and a nice salad.  The internet is being difficult tonight so not sure if I’ll post today or not.
