The big freeze

Written by karen on February 7th, 2011

So the talk at the Rodeo Cafe this week was all about the big freeze. It’s quite the topic of conversation. Apparently, no one in town took showers for a few days. There isĀ  statewide shortage of pressure pumps, and pipes are broken everywhere.

We got off pretty easy. Only one pipe actually broke, and it was a minor one (to the greenhouse). Brad did report that after thawing part of the tank with my hair dryer, we used a record amount of power. As for me, I still have wine bottles filled with water all over the house…just in case.

We changed the angle on the solar panels again today. That is a sign to me that spring is coming.

    A good use for all those emptied wine bottle. You didn’t actually just pour out the wine to make room for the water, did you? ;-)
