My Love Affair With Ducks...

Its 33 here which is probably balmy for you. But cold cold cold for me. No more lemons for you, the tree will die.

My Satsuma tree survived 28F!

You could install a fine mist sprinkler and let it run all night. That's what they do in Florida.

I'm putting Christmas lights on it and covering it. It hasn't been this cold here in 10 years.

Mines an Oswari. Ducks are mucked out and have fresh bedding. Cows are fed. Bathtub is filled. Don't know what else I can do.

I vaguely remember you have a pool? I have heart that a thin layer of ice can form with razor-sharp edges that may cut into the pool-liner. I had a friend in Kingwood who ran small styrofoam strips around the rim of his pool in frosty nights.

I took a hammer to the ice on the outside of the pools and waterers today to break the ice. The plan in the morning is to bring out water to help thaw the waterers . Snow is already starting 24 hours before the heaviest part of the forecast . At least we are no longer forecast to go d own to 0f
