"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot
and the wind blows cold:
when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade."

| Right behind the house. |
It's spring in Texas, and the weather changes are brought on by strong winds. When we moved spaces last fall, we knew we would get a little more wind having lost the windbreaks of other houses, but the shade of the trees and the unobstructed view to the west behind our house is worth the extra little bit of shaking we feel in the trailer.

| Our better, shaded spot. |
Our new spot had a small metal shed on the lot, which we were excited to use for storage or laundry, but it had been placed on the cement pad, taking up half of our precious patio space. John moved it to the back of the patio, thus removing it from it's tie-downs. Result: High flying shed.
oops
Before I arrived it had taken a few rolls, and since then it has continued to roll. We thought placing it behind the trailer would help, but it continues to roll when the wind strikes it just right. You may be thinking, 'why don't you tie it down or put a floor in it?' Well, the truck has been on the fritz so we haven't gotten the supplies and we keep thinking of fixing the problem, but with each roll it looks worse and worse, making us less and less excited about keeping it. For now we have it propped sadly behind the house awaiting a settling ground or to be hauled to recycling.
