is not an inviting prospect today. The air is chill, grey, carrying enough moisture to make it seem even colder than it is. There’s still frost on the grass and it’s 11 in the morning. But we have to push forward with roofing the treehouse, because it can’t sit uncovered through weeks of rain and snow. It had a temporary roof, but high November winds loosened and stripped that away, so we have to get serious and really close it in.
Bob just went out there, clad in layers of wool and long underwear. I have to drive down to pick up gas at the dock and check mail, and then join him out there for a wretched cold outdoor work session.
I have to admit I’m not looking forward to it. But, I tell myself, it’s just physical discomfort. Not a big deal in the larger scheme of things. And it’s for a good cause.
On the plus side, maybe the memory card for my new camera will arrive in today’s mail.
And — a couple of our chickens started laying on November 30. We’re actually getting 1 or 2 eggs a day, here at the bottom of the year!
