Painting Weather

 After coordinating testing today I grabbed Levi and we took lunch out to the boys and stayed to help them paint the bottom of the boat. The weather was absolutely beautiful today, in fact I can't remember the last time we've had such nice weather during a haulout.  Usually it's raining and snowing and blowing sideways so it was a real blessing.



We got done early, so I had time this evening to work on my fencing project.  It is going slow because I am still designing it.  Hopefully I will get it figured out soon because it is almost time to transplant!  My little seedlings are starting to get tall and straggly.  This always happens to me because I have a tiny sunroom and I use shelves.  Each shelf shades the one underneath it and even though I flip the trays around once in a while they still get tall and eventually I give up.  It will be okay though because the seedlings can be planted up to their necks and they will grow straight once they are outside.
