“Out House” At Our House
The wind Tuesday was really something --guess we should not complain as we escaped some of the terrible problems of other areas.
We got through pretty well--looked like it might have blown some feathers off the chickens--- and we did have one structure damage.
At our place growing up, we had an "Out-House." In the very early forties it was there and served a great purpose. In the late forties it got remodeled a bit but was still there and still served a purpose. It
was still there when I left home in the mid-fifties and still serving a purpose. When my folks moved to the nursing home in the late nineties it was still there--but not used much.
A time came when the old residence was taken down, but the old outhouse was still there.
I took it upon myself to keep the old outhouse and actually moved it down to my garden. Not to be used as an outhouse but for a different purpose. I re-named it the "Old Shedhouse “-- since it was now a garden shed.
The ”Old Shedhouse" blew over in the wind Tuesday. It survived 80 plus years of "Halloweens" and was never tipped over, but Tuesday was a first.
Fortunately, it was not torn up and I will once again upright it and the "Old Shedhouse" will still be there serving a purpose.
(well, enough of that "shed")
