Trees sure do appear strange without their leaves. That hard freeze we had a coupla weeks ago sure did a number on some of our trees down here. Coupled with mesquites losing their canopy and we have a lot of bare branches.
It was unusually cold for this early in the year. With temps in the high teens and low 20's, the trees were quick to shed all their leaves and leave everything looking sort of barren. Normal winter weather patterns last about 6 weeks in my area (January to mid-February).
An expedient oxygen absorber for a 5 gallon storage container can be made by placing a golf ball size piece of steel wool and a tablespoon of salt inside a paper napkin and placing it in the container. The salt will absorb the residual moisture and the steel wool will naturally absorb the oxygen.

Make Your Own Electrolyte Beverage (Gatorade, Pedialyte, etc.)
To one quart of water add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 8 teaspoons of granulated sugar. Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.
This will replace electrolytes lost by the body due to dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, etc. A package of Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, etc. may be added to enhance the flavor and color.
