Susan I had never heard that word before and when I looked it up they had haint blue that is used as a porch ceiling paint on a lot of porches in NE, probably everywhere else too. I had wondered why they would paint it blue and it sounds like it's to ward off evil spirits. I lived 45 minutes away from Salem, Ma of the Salem Witch Trials and I was down in that area a lot. I wanted to go back to that cemetery with the acorns and take another pic and see what would be on it this time but my car is being fixed and I won't get it back until tomorrow. I thought being without a car I could get lots done. Wrong.
