We may have to start scheduling a monthly viewing of The Alamo just to keep the spirits up doncha know.

We had drizzle to light rain through most of the day Monday and Tuesday so when that freeze hit it got interesting. The precip turned to icy precip about dark on Tuesday but it took a good while before the ground water wasn’t melting it. But, the temps finally overcame the ground heat we had a solid sheet of ice on the ground. Fortunately, ALL the precip was real light even though long lasting so the layer of ice was thin. Still, for those of us getting out at 5 AM it was slickery.

The good news was, had enough to fill my 2 rain barrels so the garden will be happy for 2 or 3 weeks.

Midway works well too. ;)

We’re still way too dry. I know many would welcome the ice for the moisture.

Garden? Geez, i’m 3 months away from changing the oil in the tiller. I wish I could garden, but I have a layer of ice that has to melt off first UGH!
