My ice candle

My mom told me about making an "ice candle", a friend made one for her, so I tried it and it turned out great!
1. Fill a 5 gallon bucket with water and set outside (in MN or CO)
2. Let it freeze for about 18 hours - not frozen completely
3. Turn bucket upside down and pour water middle out.
4. Place a candle in the center and set outside on front walk.

Here's mine:

and here's a picture of Baxter's new favorite thing. Waiting for us to let him inside.... He hasn't started pawing at the door yet. So far so good!
