I need to keep my mouth shut
A week ago I was complaining about the wind. In return for that lovely publication, I have received 9 degree temps this morning and a frozen well head. After thawing said well head with, of all things, my blow dryer. I trudged off into the frozen tundra to feed the bleating goats, and four hungry horses in the barn. I then returned to the well house, and heard the life giving click from the well pump. Yeah! Water.....This makes me wonder why I'm in NC and not further north. I would imagine that it'll be below freezing tomorrow morning......I still forgot to brush my teeth this morning with the ensuing water celebration...sheesh.....

Yes--one of the great joys of the north is that moment when you turn on the water, and you're never quite sure whether it will actually be there or not. And then, JOY, the water comes out of the hose, and all is well. Or not, as the case may be, and you sit there swearing at the pipe as you try to guess which part of it to aim the hair dryer at. And swearing at yourself for being so stupid as to think that anyone could actually LIVE in this frozen wasteland. Everyone needs a little taste of that now and then. Keeps you humble!
I'm very much enjoying your blog, btw!
