Gourds-UP!

Well the gourds are finally up and they look great!

 But it came a terrible storm today, with lots of rain and...the paint came off some of the gourds-houses.

So sad, I've learned that lesson the hard way. I now notice the old ones look like they have been painted with a brush. Guess I should have researched a little more. Anyway, they should be fine for a few years... I hope.

Thanks to a cousin for putting up the last dozen for me.
It was kind of really scary up on that ladder!
