Thanks, Mary. The chickens are ok. I took them extra servings of warmed water and food a little while ago.

We're managing. I think we're both at the edge of "Enough", and TL just used a rock hammer to clear ice from inside and underneath the door. I'm struggling with intensified claustrophobic feelings, we still have no water source other than buying it bottled as possible, and when we run the propane heater we don't sleep; kind of hard to think clearly right now.

Beyond all that, the day is frigid but full of sunshine, the stars and moon were beautiful late last night, and one chickadee was yelling his spring song yesterday.
