Just In Time!

Cerra, Nolan, Heather and I along with some friendly neighbors got two sections of my loafing shed started earlier this summer. One half of the shed got the roof up but the other half had to wait. Now, HAPPY DAY, we just finished getting the roof on the second half.
When I say "we" I mean Cerra. Cerra has put the roof on the second half of the loafing shed almost single handedly. I helped a little but it was Cerra who was climbing the ladder, drilling the holes, putting up freeze bars between the rafters, and climbing on top of the roof to put up the galvanized sheeting, (yes, I did say ON TOP OF THE ROOF).
So far this project is looking good! All the animals are happy to have a place to get out of the rain and impending snow this winter. Especially Star. All she could do before was stick her head in the door of the chicken coop. Now she fits all the way under the shelter and doesn't have to get her head, or her back, or her feet wet, (that is until she chooses to go roll in the mud).

You may have noticed the heavy mist in the photos. The weather is getting colder and wetter. With heavy rain on the horizon there is no doubt in my mind that we got the roof up just in time! (Not bad for an old lady and a couple of city kids, eh!?) Nolan, Heather and Cerra, thank you is hardly enough. You all have a lot to be proud of :)

You're so great Cerra. Thank you for loving mom so much and helping her with all that you do. I'm afraid I've never quite lived up the way you have. The only downside. . . your sorta screwing things up for the rest of us. That bar is getting pretty high.

The shed looks great mom and the animals look as cute and happy as ever.

Sasha! Seriously! The bar's as low as ever, baby!

Besides, I know for a fact that you help your mom out any way and any time you can. I do love mom, though; that part you have right.

Thanks for thinking I am great, but I am afraid living closer will give you a different perspective...just ask Mom and Dillon! ºÜº

Love ya!

I was actually thinking about getting a miniature Jersey cow, (tee-hee).

Does anyone else find the phrase "loafing shed" incredibly hilarious?

I wish I had a loafing shed.
