A Quick Water Tip

Keep a few bottles of water in the kitchen freezer and grab a couple on your way out to the garden on a hot summer day. Keep one at hand and place the other in the mailbox for later. It will thaw slowly but stay cool enough for quenching your thirst while working in the heat.

I don't freeze water bottles. But I usually have a large bottle of water available if needed. I keep some extra ice I keep in a freezer in the shed. I do love my ice drinks and hate to run out of ice!
