It's Freezin' Up in Here!

 How is everyone's weekend going?   It seems that two or three days in a row of -20 & -30 degree weather was just too much for our pipes in the kitchen! The wind was coming from the east here yesterday, right where our kitchen wall is and when we got up the cold water pipe was froze. This morning they are both frozen and the wind just won't stop!! Thank goodness the washroom taps are still working though!lol  

Mike is on his way two hours north of here to pick up some sheep he bought. A bunch of lambs and some ewes too. He rented a U-Haul trailer because he thought it would be just too cold on the poor little guys to make it all the way back home in the back of his truck with just racks on it (there would be no roof)  

 I woke this morning to the sound of him spinning his wheels in the driveway, lol!! He was trying to get the truck and trailer turned around in the mounds of snow we got yesterday. The kids and I watched him for awhile out the bedroom window laughing the whole time.

This is a recurring event for him, as he thinks he can always just plow through all that snow whenever he wants to, would be much too easy to shovel it first!! lol Finally he took off right across the front lawn and through the ditch!! You can see the grass on the front lawn because all of the snow blew into our driveway which is at least a foot deep with drifts!   Have a great day everyone!
