Frozen H2O


I woke up to no water, the temp must have gotten in the teens. There was only 1 bottle of water in the frig and the cats water dish was empty, so I shared the bottle half for them and half for my morning coffee. (I now have 3 bottles of water in the frig and a gallon of water for the toilet for the next frozen H2O morning.) We went to Waffle House for breakfast and back to Clarksdales WalMart Ken saw a toy he wanted to get for the grandkids and it wasn't at the Walmart in Memphis. We also stopped at a Pecan road side store, so we have pecans and peanuts to snack on. The cotton left in the fields after harvesting sort of looks like snow, we stopped and took a few samples to look at.
(We had water again when we got back.) (Some interesting info?)

A 550 lb bale of cotton will make 12oo pillowcases, growing season for cotton is 160 days, not all the bolls ripen at the same time when they were picked by hand they would go out 3 times to pick, now they wait til most of it is ready and machine pick it.
