I went up the hillside to see a tree. This is a cedar.

Caveat: Heat the outdoors
This morning, the water in the house wasn’t flowing.
Some pipe had frozen, somewhere. Not completely beyond reason – the low last night was 13°F (-10°C). At first Arthur thought maybe it was at the point where the water pipe entered the house – so he had this giant portable kerosene heater running outside, there. But then we concluded it was in the water-tank and pump house, up by the driveway. So we heated the great outdoors up there for a few hours.
Sure enough, around noon we got the water flowing again.
Caveat: Poem #931 “A cool reception”
ㅁ The moon approached dispassionately, with not a glance to either side. A hoary cloud floated by, blurring her pocked, pale face. The earth ignored her, preoccupied with winter and ice. Cool.
– a nonnet.
