My pond runs all winter, zone 2/3

[callingcolleen1]

I'm glad your mom is doing so much better !

Unfortunately I had to turn off one of my ponds this morning! The ice formation had lowered the water level so much over night the pump was starving and I couldn't raise the water level cause the faucet was frozen
I think next year I will build cold frames like you.

sometimes the ice can form in areas and displace the water from the pond. The cover will help but when it went below -1 F then I had to add heater...

Finally got around to working in greenhouse. I had to fix my mom first before I could get into the greenhouse. There for a while I just hung out with her day and night. I feel so much better now, she talks to me just like she used to before she got sick three years ago.
Working more now in greenhouse these days. New little guppy pond too!!!

Thankfully we were able to fill and restart the pond.

I never get tired of listening and viewing your nice video's Colleen. So glad your mom is doing so well and you can now do some of your creative ponding and work in your green house.

@Gemma glad you could get water in and raise the water in your one pond.

It can get pretty warm and steamy in there during the daylight hours. It is much warmer now than when I had no bubble wrap or insulation around bottom. It varies from 65 to about 80 as weather outside can be a big factor. If its really cold, like below -20 Fahrenheit might get as low as 65 Fahrenheit. I never let it get any colder and on very cold nights I have old dog blankets that I thow over roof, when there is no snow cover. It there is tons of snow then greenhouse warmer so I don't heat as much.

Have to meet specialist's at noon to observe my mother eat so we can get her off puree foods and back to something more normal. My mothers doctor is very pleased with her progress and lots of people in the building are talking about me and my mother now. Maybe some of the other folks will also get on CBD oil too!!

Wow we take so much for granted when we have no health issues. Look how good your mom is doing and getting to enjoy that burger! Thanking God for giving you to your mom as such a good and caring daughter. Glad that CBD oil is doing it's job

Specialists were very happy to see how much progress my mother has made! She has come a very long way from where she was, in a catatonic state and totally unresponsive. The lady across the way that arrived at Haven View about same time as my mom with similar symptoms has sadly passed away. I think if she had received CBD oil she might still be alive today, but sadly her 81 year old husband that was caring for her never understood when I told him about CBD oil. So many people do not know how powerful CBD is on elderly people and mainstream news does not report enough about CBD oil and its incredible power.

Fish outside all doing well dispite my neglecting them and running non stop to see my mother everyday... Life is wonderful and I got the most wonderful Christmas Miracle!!!

She looks wonderful @callingcolleen1 ! Her eyes are bright, her face is full of life - what a blessing you are to your mom!

I wonder how the vegan sisters feel about that juicy burger? Haha!

 

[addy1]

How much do you give her every day?

What vegan sister does not know won't anger her, ha ha ha. My mom just loves a hamburger and I will always bring on if she wants one.

 

[callingcolleen1]

How much do you give her every day?

I give her one North Star CBD which contains 20 mg CBD, and 1.7 THC at night. Then I give her half a dropper of FX CBD oil from Nutters, not as good as the North Star. Some days I give her North Star twice a day instead of the CBD from Nutters. I think North Star is the best quality and I noticed she likes to bite the soft gel cap and chew the cap as the oil from North Star tastes FANTASTIC, like magical sweet grass....

 

[addy1]

That is so neat it is helping her.

And none of us will be telling her so mom's secret is safe with us!
