...God said
"Let there be water"
and voila!
Our pipes un-froze and once again,
after three long days of frozen pipes and no shower, (ewwww)
we had running water!

we had running water!
No more carting the wet stuff in, we're all set.....
(fingers crossed, another freeze coming next week)
~ahem~
la-la-la-la
la-la-la-la
can't hear you weatherman,
fingers in ears,
la-la-la-la
It's a bit of a mixed blessing, as we have a cracked pipe as a result of the freeze,
but all things considered, I'll take it.

ReplyDeleteWater! Oh enjoy and good luck with the next batch of cold weather!
ReplyDeleteI love your new header although the old one was so pretty too.
ReplyDeleteI was just reading your previous posts....and I'm so sorry to hear about your home and pipes...but so glad that everyones okay...and your pipes are unfrozen. I know all about frozen pipes that burst..no fun.

I also wanted to tell you that I love your new header...and that your making your blog all about you...because it's YOU that keeps me coming back ;o)
ReplyDeleteFunny how we don't know what we REALLY miss until we don't have it anymore. For example, running water? Hope your water continues to run "freely" the rest of this year!!
ReplyDeleteTake care, Sue
Sorry about the broken pipe but I'm happy to hear that you finally got water!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your new header picture...beautiful!

ReplyDeleteHi Anne, So glad that you got water again. Carrying the water reminded me when we had to go outside to the well with a bucket. In the winter months, we would heat it on the wood stove. I hope you are staying warm and dry. Have a great weekend. Your Missouri Friend.
ReplyDeleteHallelujah!! Water is a good thing! We wouldn't want y'all to get too stinky! :)
ReplyDeleteLook at your new header - it's gawgeous! :)

Anne, so happy you have water! It sounds like things have been a tad rough lately! Blessings are right around the corner! Love your new header BTW.
ReplyDeleteKim:)
You mean you don't want to wash your hands, your face, your hair in Snow?
ReplyDeleteDebbie
P.S. I guess this means no more handwriting lessons in the snow either, huh?
First - wow! What a week it has been for you! I read your previous two posts with Lillie on my lap and whenever I tried to comment she was adding her own words so I kept thinking I would come back on later to comment so you didn't wonder what all the gibberish was! Anyway, I can't even begin to imagine how horrifying the fire must have been but am so glad you are okay - and YAY for water again!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Anne! I've been praying for you. Was so sorry to read about the fire,, the pipes ...the freezing temps!...Glad to read now that you are better and gettin a good hot shower!. LOl!
ReplyDeleteHave I told you lately...you take some awesome pictures! and I'm looking forward to reading more about YOU!!!! in your blog!
Have a great weekend girl...you sure deserve it!
love

I am happy that you can take a nice warm shower now. Keep warm, Spring will be here soon. sandi
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! I would take the longest shower ever! I love your new header by the way - so cute :)
ReplyDeleteA little color sneaking in... thoughts of spring, no doubt. Sorry for your trials, keep up the la-la's. They really do help ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend darling...i hope you have a great shower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...love Ria....xxx...
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you are okay, thank goodness nothing too serious happened, one burst pipe you can deal with, especially if you can have a nice warm shower.
ReplyDeleteHope all the other problems don't take too long to get fixed and don't cost to much.
Yikes, that near-inferno must have been SO frightening! Frozen Pipes??I never imagine your weather to be the same as we get here somehow - welcome to my world!!Raging winds have been the order of the days this week!
ReplyDeleteLove your new header especially the little pic and your lacy dress - very pretty.
Have a stress-free weekend. x
Hi Anne,
ReplyDeleteYou had me chuckeling with the lalala's. We in the south have had a taste of the northern weather whick seems to keep going, storm after storm. Global warming...??..humm...Well, I am glad your pipes are fixed, what a hastle.....so are you all moved in?
I love your new banner.
Stay warm!

Yay for running water and warm showers! Honestly I think I would have never made it as a pioneer woman with no running water, having to heat my bath water, and treking outside to us an outhouse. I'm so thankful for modern conveniences, and really miss them when they are gone. Thankfully we've had running water despite our below freezing temps. I'm so glad you have water now!
ReplyDeleteI love your new header!!!!!
Take care and stay warm!
Oh, Anne, these troubles aren't all in your new house, are they? Well, I'm glad the water's back on and running again!
ReplyDeleteWarm hugs,
Diane
Happy you have running water ~ what a simple pleasure ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnne - If possible, keep a fan blowing on whatever pipes froze. Also, maybe you could keep a small stream of water running. Both of these ideas works - believe me!
ReplyDeleteAnne, hope all goes well with the pipes. Being without water had to be awful. judy
ReplyDeleteAnne I hope you had the most divine of showers!!! :-D
ReplyDeleteAlso - I adore your new header, just charming!
Jem xXx
P.S - I have my fingers crossed you'll be frozen pipe free in the coming weeks!
Good Morning, Anne,
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about you often since I read the post about your fire last weekend. I was relieved to read that your family and pets are safe and your home was spared...but I'm sure it was very scarey.
And then no water?! Wow...I'm sure you are feeling ready for the move to your new home. Take care, my dear. Have a good weekend. ~Natalie
Oh yay!!! Showers are always good ;)
ReplyDeleteYou spread sunshine everyday girl!
xoxoxoox,

Oh dear lady.....Showering is always nice!! (O:(O:

It's amazing how easily we can take something like running water for granted... so glad you got your water back, Anne! Enjoy your shower and your weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jo
Hello Sweet Anne, so glad you have running water. Seriously it's the little things like taking a shower, right? Have a great water filled weekend.
ReplyDeleteValerie

Take care of yourself, Mr Twig and your furry babies.

ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm sorry to hear about your broken pipe, although I'm glad you get to take a shower again. Hang in there, spring is right around the corner!

ReplyDeleteHooray! A hot shower will do wonders for you. Love the new header.
ReplyDeleteHey Anne, now that you've gotten those three unfortunate incidents out of the way at the beginning of the year, it should be smooth sailing from here on out! :) Glad to hear you are faring well and keeping your face to the sunshine. Love your new header. And will look forward to hearing more about You, You, You! Best wishes, Tammy

OMG Anne, I'm that girl that showers twice a day, yes I'm a strange one...I would freak out. Well, not really but that would be a bummer. I'm so glad you have water, sorry about the pipe!
ReplyDeleteOK your new header, I know I've been off for awhile but it's gorgeous!!! Stunning!!
XO
Kristin
PS Stay warm, I wont tell you what type of weather we are having now :(
Glad you are finally able to take a shower.....and I love your image. Make me want to start gardening immediately. May I say that I just came back from Europe and one thing I did not like... the don't believe in snow plows. We were snowed in for almost two weeks. The airport closed, no train connection and people actually had to get off the train 3 miles out of Paris and walk the rest of the way. I was soo cold. Thanks for a great blog

I am happy to hear you're safe and sound after the fire - that must have been incredibly scary! We just got our water back today (off since Wed AM) - I must be not too far down the road from you (we're in the hill country near Wimberley) and I am so OVER winter already :-) Hope all goes well for y'all now ....
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of you! I'm so glad that you only have one pipe cracked. I know even that is a pain (we just had this happen to us).
ReplyDeleteBONJOUR,

ReplyDeleteI am sure you really enjoyed your shower, Anne. Totally love your new header photo.
ReplyDeletebet the nice warm shower made you feel like a new woman ;). few yrs back we were with out power for 3 days. melted snow on our wood stove to flush the toilet.our cooktop worked so we could make coffee and warm water to wash up but a shower thats the best ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is a really really beautiful new header Anne! So glad you have your water back finally!! xoxo ~Lili
ReplyDeleteAnne, I just found your blog and I really love it. The ironstone pitcher drew me right in. I inherited one like it from my mother and I use it for seasonal flowers or greenery. I look forward to reading future posts.
