The rain has turned into snow.

For Spiky's hands the cold is their foe.


It's difficult to wrap her hands

Around a 2x4.

She runs into the tiny home

Where there is a heater on the floor.


Her dad works hard.

The family has gotten pretty far.

They build the bones, the walls

And put in styrofoam.

With the sidings it's starting to look like home.


Because they work everyday,

Spiky had to quit babysitting.

The 7 year old and Spiky,

Sadly can no longer play.


Throughout the day there is so much to do.

Though at the same time things moved slowly.

Spiky wants this home finished wholly

And as quickly as possible.

But they can't control everything, thus it wasn't plausible.

Thank you to all my readers. Hope you're enjoying Spiky's journey ^_^
