Meg, I said you were a ‘show-off’ because you said it was 71 where you live. I think it dropped to the teens here in Sedona last night. I left all faucets on with a trickle, and the cupboards under the sinks open. I wrapped all my outdoor faucets with insulation.
Then, I brought in the hummer’s feeder, and put it back out this morning at dawn. (How do those little birds stay alive when it gets so cold?)
For the first time I have ever seen, I have foot long icicles hanging from my eaves.
Hope you are enjoying a nice lovely day, there in beach weather. LOL!
LOL..It won’t reach 70 today..It’s 60.
I have never had icicles that long! I had icicles hanging from a trellis over the patio entry last year..It was magical when the sun hit them..It was after a snow.
I keep one bathroom’s cabinets open under the sink. It is my only outside wall sink..
I have foam lined covers to snap on over my outside faucets..I still have a hose connected..mustn’t forget that!
Sprinkler system is the HOA reponsibility.
This balmy weather won’t last here.
I think I read the lack of food kills the hummers more than cold. Good luck with the little stay behind.
