Freezing

We've been going through a cold spell in California and that means we have frozen pipes in the morning. As we don't have a weather station yet, we have to rely on the pipes freezing to indicate that our night temperatures were in the teens. Our pond was also frozen yesterday, which cause the ducks to slide across the surface in a very ticked off manner. The pond did not melt until late afternoon yesterday as it was even cool during the hottest part of the day. The cold spell is supposed to finish by the end of this week and we're hoping for warmer temperatures. I'm not sure what the trees will do, but I hope they don't get overly confused by all this change in the temperatures.
