Beginning of the cold

​It’s really starting to get cold here on the land. It’s going to get to 25 degrees tonight. The camper has a hard time keeping up with the cold so I lined the bottom with hard foam, it’s not working well enough. Tomorrow I’ll buy some square bales of hay to help. 

This morning we went to church and had full intentions of visiting with friends and family after. Soon after the service, Michael started feeling icky. Throw up icky, my most feared sickness. So, we made our way back to the camper to rest. 

The water lines to the camper have been frozen for most of the day. This evening I’ve been fetching water from the shed and warming it on the stove. I romanticize moments like this to get through. We’ll be in a cabin next year and life will look more “normal”. Whatever that really means 😂. 

Otis starts winter break on the 20th and we are SO ready. It’s time to spend time with family, eat yummy food and hibernate for a little bit. 

Michael has taken a week off at the end of March to work on the cabin. We’re hopeful to have it dried in by the middle of April. What a great birthday gift that would be ❤️.
