Progress...

I never liked the big shed painted in the same colors as the house and garage. Too light, too feminine. You can't park a John Deere farm tractor in a girly shed, oh no! I love the new barn red. The tractor got kicked outside so John would have a place for his saw and tools and paint.

The other farm buildings, the original pump house that protects a hand-dug well, and the chicken coop, also got a coat of barn red, and I love how they look.

The house got its first coat of gray paint today, and tomorrow the darker gray will go on the shingles in the gable ends.
