It's Freezing Out!

Today is what, 18 degrees? It's cold enough to completely freeze my horse's water, anyway. Four kettles of boiling water and me with a hoe were not enough to even partially break the ice on her water trough. At that point, I figured that enough water had been poured on top that she could drink that, and I gave up.

(picture taken a few weeks ago; it's not snowy now, just cold)

Tomorrow it will be Heidi's turn to break the ice and we'll see how she manages, ha-ha. This is one of the only times I have wished that I lived in South America, but perhaps un-frozen water would not be worth that. Oh well.

The above picture is me aggravating Heidi when she was trying to take a good picture of me. ;-)
I have decided that this year I will attempt to grow flowers. Last year I tried vegetables but that did not work. Sometimes the below picture is all I can grow. Beautiful, and I didn't even touch it which is probably why it is alive.

Heidi does not think I will be able to grow anything; probably she is right but it will be fun to try. My main problem will be all the deer. Last year they ate my garden and if they do it this year I think maybe I'll go out and butcher them.

Anyways, Happy Spring, when it comes.
