I hope you get over that sinus infection and feel better soon! Also will pray for the best in your dh situation. I too am growing weary of rain. It probably will help my apple trees i just planted this past summer get established.

I went to Rural King yesterday and bought a large heated dog water bowl and put a empty plastic ice cream container full of water inside of it. It got pretty cold overnight and when i checked it out this morning it had worked perfectly. The water was not frozen and I am pretty satisfied with it...
