Clearly your son needed to put stakes around the pit and "do not cross tape" around it!

Reminded me of the time at our old house when did daycare. It was summer and the kids were digging with their Tonka trucks. They had a giant hole in the yard and DH was working late. I called them in, bathed and fed them and they were arguing about bedtime when Daddy came home. His dinner was in the oven waiting so he decided to go feed his rabbits in the yard while I put the kids to bed. Just like you there was a crash, a scream of pain, followed by a stream of language. The children looked at me, I looked back, then they silently turned and raced for bed. DH limped into the house, I gave him coffee, his dinner, and sympathy. The next day I made the kids fill in the hole.
Aaah, memories!
Aaah, memories!

That's funny. Kids have a great time digging in dirt. Pity the poor, "clean" children that don't know the pleasures of dirt.
Snow covering up the hole is what did you in. I would have laughed if I was there in person, watching you take a pratfall, water bucket and all!

I once had a big rear wheel from a tractor for a 'fire pit' in the back yard. Walked out of the shop in the dark about 1 am one morning going to the house and tripped over the first edge of it and dropped down hard on both shins down on the opposite edge. That thing went to the scrap yard next trip I made.

Well the snow stopped and is melting a little but I wish the temperature would make up its mind. One day we’re lucky if it’s 10, then it’s 40, then 20, then 30. I’d appreciate a consistent temperature, especially one that would allow for thawing of troughs and hoses. Also it’s be nice to have a few nice days to clean out the garage for possible lambing use. And to crutch the ewes. But the good news is we’re getting the moisture we desperately need
