Frozen Pipes

Oddly, it only got to 7 degrees last night, and the cold water to the upstairs bathroom has frozen. Hot water works fine. When i rebuilt the plumbing, I wrapped the pipes together, so, with the ht water running, its only a matter of time for the pipe to unfreeze.

The guinea hens have discovered their heat lamp and are huddled underneath it . . . until it gets above freezing today, which I hope will get all the birds to get out and stretch their legs. They all tend to lay more the next day when their daily routine is to get out of their chicken run and forage the land.

Later today, I plan on restocking firewood. The forecast looks bleak this weekend with an expected low of -3 (ugh.) Friday and Saturday nights.
