Here's an idea, don't fill the tanks that full, then just add a bit of water each day. Or, see if you can find someone to make the old fashioned kind of tank heaters that you make a fire in, or buy one.

The hydrant at the farm keeps freezing. I've been thawing it w/a hairdryer. That's the only way my horses have water. It's supposed to get really cold over the weekend, then it's supposed to warm up. I hope they're right. I've been cold all day. The heat's not working right in my truck.
One day, married Jade who wanted to know how her husband Max would react if she left without telling him where she had gone. Jade decided to write a letter to her husband.She writes, she is tired of him and didn’t want to live with him anymore. After writing the letter, Jade put it on the table...
I started looking for a good pic of JD, and found myself reading the accounts of people who claim to have encountered him. Most of them talked about hearing a horrible sound, like someone was being murdered. I wonder if at least some of them had maybe heard a fox. I've only heard one...
I'm tired of the cold. I wouldn't mind it so much if I had all my animals in my back yard. But, we're getting much colder than normal temps right now, and it's supposed to last for at least another 8 days. I have to get a shower B4 heading to church, and I'll admit to not even wanting to get...
I love the pics you post. I like snow-as long as we don't get too much and that it's not too cold! I'll admit to not liking the temps we've had since right after Christmas. I could use a warm up!
What's worse is when you fall flat on your face in the mud. I know someone that happened to.
A few years ago, the snow was so deep that I was feeding horses while wearing snowshoes. I had either a mini or a pony step on my snow shoe! Since I was lifting that foot at that time, it pulled my...
As much as I wanted one earlier, I couldn't get one. Hubby didn't want any animals in "his" house. It was only a year or so ago that he decided he was OK w/one. Then it was a matter of finding one. I could not tell you how many years I looked for one. I was going to get one no matter what...
I had a dream a few weeks ago. In it, I had both Callie and my first cocker, Ebony. I missed Ebony from the time I lost her to the day I brought Callie home. And, that was over 30 years. Now, when I look at Callie, while I can see things in her that remind me of Ebony. I needed her in a way...
We had the pipes freeze in the house one year. Hubby thawed them out w/the hair dryer. And, I don't have a torch out at the farm. I'm just glad I was able to get it thawed. I told the farm owner last week that something needed to be done or it was going to freeze. In spite of being told it...
I thank God for this puppy almost daily. I can't believe how big she's gotten. She's 5 months old now. I look at her and ask myself, what happened to that little puppy I brought home?
I'm w/you. I always hated to run all over creation for any holiday. Now, my parents come to my house for Christmas. Hubby's parents are both gone. My son has moved too far away to come for Christmas. My DD and her hubby came, but I also would not have been upset if they hadn't come.
They...
