Fh, I wrapped her and Sassy's tail to keep them out of the mud, and to keep them from looking like their manes do. 

I will try to get some of the knots out this weekend.  I think Sandi is gonna have to roach Sunny's mane though...  It is total dreadlocks. 

Aren't those dreadlocks fun to get out, Lune??  My Sunny's mane always has a few of those twisty things - her mane is really wavy and long so it tangles and twists easily.  So far I've been able to tease them out with my fingers and detangler - I guess I've been lucky, LOL.

I woke to no water this morning.  No, the pipes themselves didn't freeze, it was the supply line itself.  So much for heat tape and the extra insulation wrapped around it.  Fortunately turning all the faucets on full and the morning sun was enough to get it going again.  I can't wait to be out of this deep freeze and it's not even as bad here as many of you who live out in the plains or the midwest.

 Hey guys! Heat wave warning,  it made it to 20* here today wooohoooooo arent we lucky sure hope it holds. This next week it is supose to be in the teens that is a relief from the below zero stuff. Even if we get more white stuff. BLAH!

Lune that lil muddy pony seems to move pretty nice and she sure is a cutie! 

Sorry about your pipes Blue -check the make sure the heat tape is still working shouldn't have froze like that for you?

Thanks ss, she really has a huge trot for a pony.  Not floaty like the arabs have, but a huge hard driving "I don't wanna be late" kind of trot.  Awesome to watch.

Blue, leave your sink faucets trickling a bit.  Hopefully that will help keep them from freezing.  Where are the pipes that are freezing?

 Hang in there Blue!  This Winter is starting to look like a real "adventure story," filled with hard luck, great passion and all of nature's adversity...Shades of White Horse,Yukon Territory and Jack London and Robert Service...

"The Norther lights have seen *** sights,

but the querriest they ever did see,

Was the night on the barge of Lake LaMarge

I cremated Sam Megee...."

(from memory...)rr(Famous Rober Service Alaskan Gold Rush Period Poem...)

Lune, the water line coming in froze down at ground level where there isn't any insulation.  The pipes in my trailer itself were fine, thank goodness.  I had a faucet dripping very slowly, but it wasn't enough to keep the main water line from freezing slightly.  I probably didn't need to (because the temps were about 20* instead of 0*), but I had several faucets dripping last night and all is fine today.  Ah, the joys of living in manufactured housing ;)

Hi all.  Just wanted to let everyone know that the disruptly pigs have finally gone to their new home today.  I'm SO happy with this. 

Hope everyone has been doing their best to stay warm.

 rr - thanks for the light hearted poem!!!

And there sat Sam, looking cool and calm, in the heart of the furnace roar;
And he wore a smile you could see a mile, and he said: “Please close that door.
It’s fine in here, but I greatly fear you’ll let in the cold and storm—
Since I left Plumtree, down in Tennessee, it’s the first time I’ve been warm.”

 SeaHorse,am I ever going to get tired of saying "the you never cease to amaze me..."

Now complete this one...

 "Let us go then you and I

as evening sets against the sky..."

(Epic poem and an Englishman....hint)

 My, my - that is indeed a poem of a different color...is someone in a morose mood today ???

In the room the women come and go

Talking of Michelangelo

Do I dare

Disturb he universe?

In a minute there is time

For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.

Poor Prufrock

Did I miss the post where someone said "I'll take dead English poets for $500, Alex."?

DING!- "SeaHorse!"

"In the room the women come and go... " 

BLAAP, BLAAP!- "Sorry, SeaHorse. The answer must be in the form of a question."

DING!- "FH!"

"Who is T.S. Eliot?"

"Correct!"

"I'll take 'Limericks that rhyme with Nantucket' for $1,000,  Alex."

~FH

Ok I will gladly play along - 

"What is keeping all your cash in a bucket?"

 There were other things that came to mind Fh - but they were norty norty as AMM would say. 

Well now that's great - this post should have had a warning on it FH.  I'm sitting here at work (on lunch break) and about choked on my soda as I read your post.  Too funny!!!!!!!!!!

 Woohoo, google can make us all literary geniuses......speaking of literary, did anyone see the HILARIOUS raven cake on CakeWrecks in celebration of 300 years for Edgar Allen Poe?

Bingo!  FHM! You guys are all right(you to Solar...)

Actually, must have been rather easy for you all.  T.S. Elliot's high school subject matter...

I'm off to bed.  One shoot-um-up dvd with William, added to standing in the cold watching pony club has done me in for one day....
