Winter Wonderland

Hello dear friends and Happy New Year!  After sharing photos of the farm in the evening light I have a few more to share of the farm during the day.

All of the statues are enjoying snowy hats.

Even our solar powered duck is ready for winter.

We have been discussing what to do with the koi pond this winter.  We usually cover it with a large tarp on wooden supports but this year we might leave it open.  The koi pond has a small heater to prevent the surface water from freezing over completely and the bubblers help to eliminate carbon dioxide from decaying leaves and fish waste.  The pond is deep enough that it will not freeze completely allowing the fish to hibernate and survive the winter.

 We are expecting up to 15 cm of additional snow over the weekend to welcome in the New Year.  We will be tucked into our old farmhouse with the dogs and cats and will end 2020 by watching a James Bond movie.  Wishing everyone health and happiness in 2021 and thank you for visiting!
