So... it is going from white.... to what color?

It is normal for snow in October. But, I am NEVER ready!

:ep

Well... last evening and half of last night, pouring rain! Huge amounts. But... the pond is still mostly ice, tiny bit of thaw on the edge.

Well.... the impenetrable film on the pond that showed up a few days back... STILL THERE. Clearly, that is it, we are stuck with full on fall/winter. No freezing then thawing repeat 12 times to help us ease in. Daughter-in-law went back up to Anchorage... she was here 3 weeks to take...

Smithsonian... and the botanical garden..

Keeping hay dry, and keeping it clean, means the nutrition of the hay keeps a really long time. So, if you have the space for it, it is worth it in the long run. I greatly prefer to keep hay where it is fed. At my place our barn has a huge loft. We keep 2 really long sturdy boards that...

There is an odd impenetrable film on the top of the pond :hide

You can also transplant them into a pot and bring them into the house.

Is the girl the one light one?

Oh... also... If you can set it up so that you have a spot to dump the water, like directly on the other side of the fence where the pond sits, you have a apple tree or berry bushes... something that would love the super high in filth water... that is nice. I have a row of raspberries up...

On the poultry front... it is leaking into my shed with all of the constant rain and wind. Not sure how to fix that. Have to think it over. The tricky thing is to get to that roof part... you really need to levitate... or have a scaffold. Or arms 10 feet long...

Ha! One week actually! Doing well, kids are treating me super well, and that new daughter-in-law is here too.... she came for 3 weeks. they are all super spoiling me. Right now I am sitting on the couch while daughter-in-law cooks for me! It is however REALLY hard to stay "good". I am not...

That is terrible!!! So sorry! :hugs

Oooh! A clean fridge!!! :clap

You really just need a 2 or 3 walled shelter, unless predators are a problem. My biggest predators are eagles/raptors and dogs. With your location raccoons, possums, and snakes might also be an issue. So, build to keep all those out. Ducks are very cold hardy. But, they do need the wind...

Blows my mind... the predator increase
