[Jacob-list] Spring

[BISCHOW at aol.com]

Souls like the artesian wells we had on the ranch when I was a kid.   Daddy 
always let them run a small stream so they didn't freeze& the cattle  had 
water.

you tell a horse.
you ask a  donkey.
and you negotiate with a mule.

A couple of years ago during a dry spell I decided  to dig up a chronically
wet spot to fix what I thought was a broken  tile.  When I got about 3 feet
down, instead of finding a broken tile  I found an artesian spring and by 
the
next morning the hole was filled to  the top with water!  This summer I
expanded a pasture so that it  overlapped that spring and decided to use it
as a watering hole until it  froze over.  (You know-save on all that
electricity to run a tank  heater.)  Well, would you believe that it's the
end of January and  here in Michigan the ground is frozen rock-hard, the
temperatures have been  dropping to near zero, and not only is the spring
still open, but yesterday  I saw two frogs swimming (not hibernating) in  
it?
