Hello Charlie,

Missed you and your pictures today, but then I guess it was my turn to write.
I weeded today, then a neighbor had built two long narrow benches for me. I was going to put them out front beneath a couple of windows and set some potted plants on them, but first I had to paint them. I purchased a dark reddish paint, thinking it had a lot of brown in it, and wanting it to look more rusty than it did in natural light. As it happened, it took on a purple cast.

Not what I wanted. So I went back to the hardware store, and tried to find a rust color. No...it was either orange or red or brown. No rust. I really wanted spray paint anyway, but could not find the color. So I had them mix one for me, and hopefully it will be what I want.

I didn't get it done because it clouded up and I thought it might rain.
So tomorrow's job.

In the meantime, it didn't rain, and we have a lovely moon.
Hope you had a great day!
