Painting has begun

Sunday afternoon was nothing a Sunday afternoon should be.  It was filled with paintbrushes and gapfiller.   It took me up yonder onto the scary heights of the roof.  Yes, folks the painting has begun.  The gunmetal grey slopped onto the new roof boards and the paint was sucked in.   The skies were grey too, some clouds looking very angry and whispering some rain was coming.   I found myself hoping the rain wouldn’t come before our coat of pain was dry.  It would be a disaster if the heavens opened.   Not only would our hard work be in vain but the paint would wash into the gutters and down into the rain water tanks contaminating all of our water.   It was a risk to pull out the paint tray but the clouds were high and the wind was gently blowing.   It was a risk worth taking.
