Day 5 - More Rain & More Paint!

We are starting to sound like a broken record...it's Day 5 and it is raining again, but this is a good thing:  Yesterday we finished the entry hall and the bedroom.  Today, we will wrap up by painting the salon and the bathroom.  It was a long, kick-butt day, but we were able to get it done!  We did see a little break in the weather and heard a strange noise outside the salon window.  Christine was outside on the front stoop burning off weeds with a flame thrower!  It was a crazy sight...and we have pictures to prove it!

Christine is an amazing woman!  Not only can she control weeds with her flame thrower, she can build a compost bin and chop enough wood for the winter!  We are impressed!

We finally finish our painting! Yeah!  We have been wearing the same painting clothes for 3 days straight!  The weather finally breaks and so do we!  Tricia heads out to the garden to pick some of the best grape tomatoes that we have ever eaten.  After dinner, we slip out for a walk around the neighborhood and snap a few pictures of the Kamerer garden.

The rain has really been a blessing!  It kept us busy indoors and gently watered the gardens so that we could eat it's produce and smells it's flowers and photograph it's beauty.  All in all, it has been a good and productive start to our trip.  Tomorrow, Alain has promised us a day off...can't wait!
