Ah, Winter weather...

Well, I can't really complain...it's not like I haven't lived in Virginia for the majority of my life.  I know it is Winter and I know how wind can be when you live on one of the higher hills in the area.  However, if I could change things just a bit, I'd have another nice, warm weekend come 'round soon.  If it were just rain/snow, and cold, I don't think I would mind as much.  I think it's more the fact that the wind took my temporary shelter over the forge and slung it around like a dog does a rope toy.  With aluminum poles bent, twisted, or broken and tarp cover torn in key areas, it appears that it shall shelter no more.  I didn't mean for it to be that temporary.  Then again, I supposed I could have anchored it better...or at all.  I will call it a learning experience and move on. 

Looking forward to Spring.
