We love the snow.
\nOur backyard is pretty well winterized—haven’t turned off the faucets yet, but will. Need to prune a few bushes and the apple tree. But the koi put in one appearance yesterday when it started to rain — they heard something hitting the water and thought ‘food,’ I think, — then went back to their little bottom heater. There are two heaters—the floating one to keep a hole open for co2 to get out; and the sinking one to sit down with the fish. It by no means heats the pond: just provides a little slight warmth, and it sits on a bed of pebbles, so as they stay warmer, the fish have a nice comfy spot that’s just a little nicer.
\nGot to get some bird food. And we’re good to go. We have our snow-blowers, and we’ll get our winterizing finished at the first thaw (we’re sure this won’t last long) and get the hoses in, the faucets winterized and that’s about what there is to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
