I may be funny, but I sure wasn't cold! My husband kept refilling my bucket with boiling water. When we got through, he suited up and we traipsed around our place, just enjoying the beauty of it all.

Then we came in and I fixed lunch, reheated leftover pork roast, green salad with my own dehydrated Cherokee Purple tomatoes crumbled over it and a fruit salad I made from a Mango, 2 grapefruit, sectioned, a frozen bag of blueberries we picked last summer, unsweetened coconut shreds and pecans.

It probably makes you feel better to use boiling water during cold weather, but the science says it doesn't help.

I break the ice, the boiling water helps to melt the ice. I will have to do it again this evening.

I DID put warm water into the bird's water bowl this morning, but That was bc I had broken up ice in a bucket and had put that in ahead of time. Those heated dog water bowls are amazing! Even when the temperatures dipped to -15 degrees F, they Still keep it water, even when exposed to the weather and the wind. This morning the bowl was covered with a snow drift and there was still water in it, -5 degrees F this morning.

LOL We got 2" of snow, it was 18 degrees. I suited up this morning to do the boiling water bucket thing. I put on flannel lined blue jeans, a thermal shirt, my sweat shirt my momma bought me in Scotland in 1980 that is so warm that I wear it maybe one day a year. Over that I put on Carhart overalls and my parka. I put a yellow smiley face knit hat on and pulled up the parka hood. I put on my blanket lined leather gloves. Then I lurched outside to meet the elements.

Hey Bay, looks pretty over there! We got about the same as you did, 2" or so. It's on the dry side, hard to make a snowman with.

The dam over the pond.

The orchard. I still had leaves on my 2 apple trees last week.

My garden site. Got to get it finished before planting time starts.

The high today was 24. It's supposed to be 65 for the high this Saturday.
