OVPR Rendezvous !

My favorite rendezvous are hosted by the Olde Virginia Primitive Riflemen - they host a 'vous in March & again in October. Unfortunately I usually can't get time off for all of the October 'vous, so I just drive up Friday morning after work & stay until around noon on Sunday. Its still a bunch of fun, just not as much fun as I would like. I met up with Jane aka Buffalo Woman & a shining time was had by one & all. This event also marks the end of another rendezvous season. From now until late March I'll work on getting various pieces of gear made & learning new old songs for the fireside singing.

Fall is Upon the Land

Since late May I've been working on painting the trim on the house. Its now gotten too cold for the paint to set up properly, so now I just wait for May to roll around again. I've gotten all the window & door trim cleaned, sanded, primed and painted with 3 coats of Valspar exterior satin paint. The paint is named "Lime Twist" but it dries into "John Deer Tractor Green". At least its a traditional rural color. The rear gutter has been removed, the trim cleaned, sanded & primed too. It may not look impressive as yet, but there's a lot of surface area to a window frame. Its a job that has definetely kept me busy !
