It's been really cold here! For Alabama anyway. All the way down to 15 degrees on the coldest morning. Lydia and Atticus have had fun outside finding ice to smash, but I've hardly set foot outside. I am not a cold weather person.
Speaking of ice, it gets in the funniest places. Like the padlock on our storage shed. Daddy had to use his lighter to thaw it out before he could open it. He left the shed unlocked, so we could get in there without any trouble. The problem was that when I went to lock it up for the night, it wouldn't close! There was ice inside the padlock so it couldn't slide in all the way. I brought it inside, wrapped a dish towel around one hand, (that metal was cold), held it upside down over the trash can, and with the other hand held a lighter underneath to melt the ice. It took a little while, but I eventually melted it enough to snap it into place. I just hope we won't need to get in the shed any time soon!
