A Bit of Pond

My aunt has come to visit for two weeks and we are going to be busy.  We are going on a road trip to visit my father (her brother) and will travel according to the weather.  Thought I'd upload a few for the meantime.

This is a tiny portion of my pond.  I went down to see if it was frozen enough for skating.  Sadly, it was not.

How do you test to see if it is frozen enough...take a friend who is a bit heavier than you, send him out on the ice and watch if he falls through?
[grin]
Mary MacADNski: Luckily if that friend falls in it's not deep.

So you own a pond. Excellent picture. It remains difficult for me to imagine living in a snowed under area.
Mary MacADNski: I have a fabulous property, Louis with a great pond. It is where I fell last year, dislocating my shoulder and breaking my arm. I'll link a winter shot of it iced. It usually doesn't freeze over any more but did last year.

As for surviving the winters, if you've been born to it, you survive. If you weren't you survive too. We are a land of immigrants.
