One of the things about living in the country, is functionality and practicality trump aesthetics.  Nobody worries very much about neighbourhood property values.  If an item is useful, it gets used.  No worries about what the neighbours will think of it, and no worries about what the neighbours have in their yard, unless their stuff/junk is cooler than what you have! 

So here's my new storage trailer!

      My husband works for a local company here, and when one of their truck trailers reached the end of it's working life this winter, we jumped at the chance to offer it a retirement home.  It is lined with sturdy wooden shelves, and has three separate compartments.  Can you see the door at the back?  That leads to what used to be the refrigerator and freezer compartments.  There is also a door out the right hand side, toward the back.
     All the gardening and yard tools will come out here, the electrical cords and garden hoses, the unused chicken feeders, and many more things.  The cats will have a home underneath the trailer, and the mower will have a winter home under the front section of the trailer.
     All the organizing of this new space will have to wait for another week however, as the temperature is unlikely to make it above -25 C this week, and I have a water system that doesn't want to work properly for me.
