When is it Spring in Minnesota? Asking for a friend.

 

Dede wants to get started.

After much thought in the shed I knew it was time for an update.  Our first winter back in Minnesota has been challenging.  And spring hasn’t been much better.  Our local news says this is the third coldest spring on record. It’s been in the 90s in Florida .  What kind of game is nature playing?  Not funny. 

So shed living is getting normal.  We don’t have much to clean (yeah) and since we ran out of wood a couple weeks ago Gary is out sawing wood and piling up wet wood which we dry by the fire in the shed.  We never thought we would need wood in late April.  

But we have adjusted to shed living.  The dogs sleep most of the time, on the couch, in their own beds, in our bed, or by their food dish in case it’s time to eat.  Then they sleep some more.  

Gary is on the phone most days begging people to help put up the house, excavate, or move electricity.  He bought most supplies to build the house.  We are now officially hoarders.  We are just waiting for the hoarder specialist to knock on the shed door asking if we need help in her quiet sensitive voice while I slam the door in her face. Uh no.  I want a house so get lost.

Gary feeds the deer and turkeys now and watches on cameras.  We are not allowed to move if they are near the shed so now we have them controlling our lives so that’s fun.

We have a few more weeks until we actually start the house.  We hope for warmer weather to get started.  While Gary works on the house, I plan on golfing starting soon but have no idea where my golf clothes are.  And even if I did I couldn’t get to them.  

So with the right attitude we are doing fine.  Mojo was struggling but seems better which put everything in perspective.   She’s 14 and if she’s ok, we’re ok.  At a time like this patience really comes in handy.  If only Amazon had a sale on it.
