It was cold last night and didn't warm up a whole lot today. It's nice seeing snow on the peaks again this year, but it's not so nice having to get out and work with frozen water pipes. One of the gardens sprang a leak last night and I just got word that a second set of exposed pipes may have some sort of problem.

It's pretty funny to hear that people were actually calling the water company to ask why their water wouldn't run this morning! What a crackup! If you did something like that back in the midwest, they'd probably send the paddy wagon out to your house with a nice warm white jacket for you to wear.

CP is as cute as ever and becomes more expressive every day. She was really happy today and enjoyed watching the bird fiesta in the front yard from the window.
