Winter ~ water

I miss summer when we have hoses out to fill all the water buckets. This time of year, I haul water in buckets. If the faucet outside works, I fill the buckets there:



Sometimes it's so cold the outside faucet is frozen, then I fill the buckets in our bathtub. Thankfully that doesn't happen too often.

Inside the alpaca's shelter we have heated buckets so that water doesn't freeze:



I do think chores are a bit more work in the winter. But I also think in the winter I tend to be less active and need to move more. In the end it's a good balance.
