What to do with all this ICE?

There are a lot of negative things about the cold and ice, especially when you have responsibilities that take you out into the elements on a frequent basis....there's always a positive for every negative though, and the cold is no different...as I looked out over the frozen landscape this morning, I came across a few beautiful sites....like the sparkly crystals of frozen dew on the top of this fence line, for example...GORGEOUS!


And this ice sculpture that Uncle Travis made from all the ice removed from a water trough....AWESOME!

And speaking of water troughs.....I think we may start a new business of selling frozen tombstones....or super-sized ice cubes! That large shiny thing leaning against the fence is actually the top lay of ice removed from this water trough the day PRIOR...you can see the NEW hole I had to make in the ice for the horses to drink today....JR came behind me to get the loose ice out for them....

Happy Trails & Silver Linings!
