I don’t know why my husband likes to work in the rain.

.

.

But he tried to apply sealant to the newly sanded barn porch in the drizzle, until it turned into a full blown shower and he had to quit.

.

.

The next day was cool, but dry

.

.

For a while.

.

.

But just as he was finishing, the sky began to darken.

And rain moved in again.

.

.

And lest you think I didn’t help…

.

.

When the sun came out the day after, I sealed the steps and porch skirting.

Unlike my spouse, I don’t work outside in the rain.
