I Need Trees!!

It's cold and windy around here, with rain blowing in. There were speckles of it through the night and a bit this morning. But mostly, it's one of those gloomy, yucky days that makes ya want to stay in.

I didn't even unplug the space heater in the shed this morning. I figure it might as well maintain. I suppose I should go out there and check it, though, and maybe when I do brave the elements, I'll take my camera. The shed is nothing pretty, but it's great to have.

Did I tell y'all I have a sink, a counter and cupboards out there? And the window is like 5 by 4 feet, double pane? And the shed is insulated?

All I need now is a few shelterbelts of trees to keep the wind off it, the yard and everything. I believe the entire universe is windy today.

Ah, well, the kitchen has cookies in it, and the coal boiler is up and running again, so I shouldn't spend the night shivering. We may even germinate some green peppers yet.
