Yes, it was quite the year - we had to stay at a motel for three days, and came home during the day to make sure it didn't freeze up inside the house! Luckily, we could take our dog and cats to the motel, but, as you can imagine, it was quite a strain. This year hasn't been anywhere near as bad!!

We had 48 degree temps yesterday, and the pond is about 1/2 open now. Excellent!

But, here's a pic of our latest pets - right outside the door - we've heard them since we put in the pond 3 years ago, but this is the first year they've let us see them. I'm sure the water and feeders drew them close this year. Look at each side of the photo -- two barred owls (hoot).
