Another visit from the painters today.

Just when we thought that is was going to be a work free day the painters came by and painted the porch ceiling and some more of the trim.

Porch ceiling and window sashes are a good, correct shade of blue, a traditional color to 

keep out the spooks. 

 Here's a better explanation for a blue ceiling from Sherwin Williams:

"There are numerous theories as to why – from fooling spiders and wasps into thinking the ceiling is the sky, to blue being a harbinger of good luck, to the color extending daylight, to scaring away evil spirits."
