I know all about that 3ft down stuff. Lee broke off the freeze-free faucet at my BIL's house with the tractor and we had to dig it up and fix it. Digging through 3 feet of waterlogged Alabama clay ain't fun. And trying to get the pipe clean enough to glue is a real challenge too. It ain't a job I'd wish on anybody. And you've got to wonder, why did that one freeze and the other's didn't, unless maybe the drain field got stopped up and it couldn't drain the pipe anymore. You'll find out in the spring I guess.
Boy, those sure some big fat birds on the bird bath there! Are they doves? You ought to go take some hot water out there and melt the ice so they can drink.
Yeah, they are dove. And yeah, I need to take them some water:), just haven't got around to it yet.

Speaking of profile pages, I really should update mine. Being as I don't trap shoot anymore. Got to put some "Bodie" pictures on it.
Your doves would like some water please :~)
The sun does make it all look more cheerful! What a fast change for you, after warm weather last week.
How's the machine? Staying warm?
Does look pretty. The horses are enjoying the sun at least. Maybe the sun will melt some of the ice. I bet it is rather crunchy to walk on.
The doves have water.
The machine is warm:), we never lost power.

All's good then. It's still remarkably cold here, and even with packing all the water out from the house, I sortof like it. It's bright and cheery. We might get some more snow tomorrow, that'll clean it up, ours is getting a little worn down.
Beautiful pictures but it makes me cold just looking at them :)
So hey - Jack really bites eh? ;~)
I remember Alabama red clay :), fortunately, we're pretty much sandy.
Dang, that IS pretty cold! Y'all can just keep all that cold stuff out there thankyouverymuch! ;o)
Rain here too. It was freezing this morning, which made it tough going into work. It rained on Sunday so I didn't go to the clinic. They have an indoor arena, but I wanted to sit some and not stand all day.
Wimp! ;o)
They didn't even have folding chairs?
Yeah, I'm a wimp :-) Sunday was just too gross wet and cold to go out.
Aw c'mon Beaker, you're no fun to mess with! You just caved right in there. ;o)
Seriously though, I understand. When you're out in the cold and are doing something, then it's not as bad as when you're just sitting there watching. I guess the movement keeps you warmer or something. I'd've been tempted to just sit by the heater with some hot chocolate and read a book.
LOL! Well, at least you had a good excuse.
OK, I read this TWICE and both times I read
"When you're OLD in the cold ...."
I was thinking, Geeeeez, Frog, getting a little personal aren't you ... hehehehehehe
