IT CAME FROM CANADA!

Snow Plows at dawn
The snow, that is.


Half a day later: It's STILL coming in from Canada! It's brought light snow, plunging temps, and a wind that really bites.

Last week my cousin Gigi wrote that she can't wait for snow to visit Nebraska. I'm thinking we should all pitch in and fly her out for snow shovelling and other fun winter activities! I need to winterize the pond (again!) she'd probably *love* plunging an arm shoulder deep in frigid pond water.

The pond, which was flooded just two days ago after more heavy rain has almost completely frozen over since last night. We have a little heat coil to keep a spot thawed open, but hadn't bothered installing it since flooding and mudding has been the main problem. Maybe this signals an end to the erosion?
