I resorted to a blanket for my mare when the temps promised to drop past -10. I STILL like winter and would never consider making a snowman voodoo doll, but yours was HILARIOUS. There's nothing wrong with giving Mother Nature a little pushback, especially when she acts so heartless and cruel. I mean NOBODY likes temps that low. The only upside is that it might just get cold enough to kill the ticks! Now, if I could make a voodoo doll of a tick, I'd do it immediately!baystatebrumbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00157539477153261305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005422562901601859.post-2716286726942838052014-01-13T09:25:04.881-05:002014-01-13T09:25:04.881-05:00I am waaay too familiar with fixing plumbing in fr...I am waaay too familiar with fixing plumbing in freezing temps. One thing we have learned restoring an old house is to put shutoff valves EVERYWHERE so you can isolate things as much as possible. Someday we'll get around to putting frost-free spigots in too - you know, the ones where the shutoff is buried several feet below ground? Nothing like wrapping your pipes and praying it works when it gets in the teens and 20s! I hope things warm up soon and the one pipe is the only casualty.jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005422562901601859.post-10741005429538291882014-01-12T08:45:25.106-05:002014-01-12T08:45:25.106-05:00I have a fantasy of having my own place.
