Not only is today my birthday, but it’s also the first day we can get back to our trailer to clean it up for the upcoming season — and we can’t wait! Our trailer is our summer home-away-from-home, and even though it’s less than a 20-minute drive from our house, we love our little oasis among the cedars.
