Never-Ending snow and pet sitting

The month of April has always been a definite Spring month in my mind.  March is the more seasonally ambiguous month.  This April has been sending me some mixed signals. Alternating days in the 60-70 degree range mixed with heavy snowy days. Seriously, at least once a week in April we had a big snow shower.  Other things happen during April but the snow is what I remember. 

Here are some pics and videos. I house/pet sat for Michael in Mid April. 

I made a partition out of an old flat bed sheet that I velcro'd along the ceiling of the bus. This allowed me to efficiently heat my sleeping quarters.  This pic shows me running both of my heating resources. The 45 on the space heater indicates the current temperature (at floor level). It would warm up to about 62 (again at floor level). This is how the unexpected cold April affected me.

First time- Grilling in the snow

Nala dragged Shiner's bed from the other room to be more comfortable while being near me. She makes me smile.

This video is a compilation of about 3 weeks and three different snow events. It is in chronological order.  It looks like it was snow white the whole time but the snow would last on the ground 2 or 3 days, melt and another storm would come. It was nice to be house sitting for a week of this messy weather.
