Some more rambles..... to start the day

6:00 Am-ish
It was suggested to Mr. Awesome, while at work yesterday, that we burn some wood in the old barrel outside. Put in a few feet from where the pipe comes out of the well house....that will help thaw the ground and maybe give the well a chance to push the rest of the ice through the pipe. So, we did that last night. It did not get into the negative numbers last night....it stayed in the upper teens. That is a good start. Weather Dude predicts 36 for today....that is a another good start.

So many others around us have the same issue that I feel better. Even those in the town of Hadley are dealing with frozen pipes. It was a long hard freeze with extremely low temperatures. I am not alone in the saga of the well water. :)

You know something I learned about the -temperatures?? When the wind isn't it blowing....it is not all that bad. It doesn't actually feel cold. I guess that is why frostbite can get to you. You don't notice it till it has done its damage.

Guess who was able to lean over and pet Ms Tuna last night? Me!! I didn't have a treat to tempt her with or anything. She did the slink down and be about one inch thick so you can't reach me, cat thing. I still did it. Ha! She even liked it cause she let me rub her whole back. I am waiting for the first time she gives me a purr. That will be fantastic.
