The Art Shanty Project





Yesterday was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the temperature was above freezing. We thought we'd better take advantage of the weather and go to the art shanty project. Alex and his friends created a funny little green house they called "The Gunderson's Spy Shack". It was great.
There's something marvelous about a large gathering of people and temporary miniature buildings placed in the middle of a lake. I grew up further south, where this couldn't be done.
Lots of dogs were there,some wearing coats and booties.
Near Alex's shack was the dance shack. You could hear music coming from the tiny shack. When the song "Hey Ya" came on it was like a flash crowd (flashdance?) The music was turned up. Dozens of people quickly gathered and danced with joyful abandon. "Hey Ya" has that effect on people.
