barn no more

Three weeks ago Wednesday my parents' barn burned down (horses were outside and are alive, the chickens weren't so fortunate). So, the clearing process has been in full swing. Today we were pulling charred pieces of wood off the foundation. Fun times all around :)
Last Thursday I went up to CQBC for some room-painting action (oh yes- it's truquoise! finished product pictures will eventually be posted) and I was expecting it to be a lonely day since everyone was working. However, some of my favorite neighbours dropped by to entertain me.
