Just when we thought winter was over here in western, NY. It returned with another 6 inches of wet snow.
The Robins have returned and are busy looking for insects in the lawn. The snow is just beginning to fall, perhaps they know what is heading our way.
I see the Flicka's looking for food too. They are such a beautiful bird and I have seen two pairs this spring/winter.
It wasn't long until the snow was 4 inches deep and my husband was kind enough to shovel a path to the greenhouse.
The plants are not too happy with the weather's turn, but I have a heater running nonstop to help keep the temperature about 50°F.
The hydroponic lettuce is getting leggy with the heaters running. I will harvest some larger leaves this weekend to make a nice salad.
With the temperatures below freezing the water flowing in the pond has turned to pretty ice. I had to turn off the pump and remove it from the icy water. I wasn't sure if it would do well with another week of cold temperatures.
The snow covered the ice on the pond by the end of the day, you could not see the ice at all. I'm sure removing the pump was a good decision until the weather warms up again.
Mika loves leaping through the snow and her fur gets full of snowballs every time she goes outside. Thankfully, she does not mind the warm bath to remove the snow from her hair. Well, that's enough rambling for this morning's post. Stay warm my friends.
