It wasn't that the cold was so bitter and lasted so long, it wasn't even that the ice was so thick, the experts believe it was a combination of the record amount of snow, the bitter cold and the length of time of snow cover that cut off the oxygen killing the fish. The lake is ringed with dead fish.
Spark spent most of the day fishing for dead fish, loading them into the Kabota bucket then bringing them over here to bury. We had a nice day, sunshine with temperatures in the 40s but that caused the dead fish to start stinking. Spark said he sure didn't want to work down wind.
Emma was covered this afternoon. Indy is still in so I'll try her tomorrow morning before church. Dave and Stef are serving lunch and we want to go early to help with the trays.
This evening we had 10 stall mats delivered here. The lady selling them has closed down a boarding barn and moved her own horses to Ruths. While we were unloaded mom called to report the van broke down on their way to Gulf Shores. They are stuck in Meridian, MS at a Holiday Inn.
