We usually sit up here quite smug about the water supply since we have two
very large creeks on the place. But in the recent very cold snap, I noticed
the
goats trying to muscle in on the hens early morning hot water ration. Sure
enough, the rapidly flowing creek nearly 20' wide was frozen five inches
thick
and the animals could not get to the water!
