Mother Nature lends a hand

One day, years ago, my parents decided to paint the house a new shade of white. After visiting Home Depot, they started to paint the siding that encased the house.

They finished an entire side by about 5 p.m. They neglected, however, to check the weather forecast. Dark storm clouds brought disaster. Rain soaked the siding, washing off the still-wet paint, and ruining all of my parents’ hard work.

This disaster showed them the importance of planning a project. They started again the next day, taking care that the weather forecast was clear, lest they ruin another paint job.
