Mom and I look outside the window and view the ice cold Canadian frozen tundra, ha ha ha. I just love her to pieces and so happy she is awake and can talk again and she "Is My Sunshine" .

I ordered 500 American Dollars worth of CBD oil from CFTO and i never got the oil cause it's being held up at the border. Stupid régulations are pissing me off... I ordered it back on the 10th of January and looks like I lost my money... Anyway I was desperate at the time as everything was out of stock in Canada and I was scared I would run out. Now its availible everywhere !! I have CBD Chocolaté, tea, fast acting spray, and lots of oil now.

Winter is here early!
We had a whole weekend of cold and wet snow and a ton of wet snow broke trees branches and made a big mess of my yard.
Getting ponds all ready for winter, see how I winter my ponds in Canada all winter long... including outdoor guppy pond!!!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, snow already for you. Glad you got your panels up keeping everything all nice and warm.
Sounds like you will be leaving the guppies and platy's out there for the winter this year. Not bringing any inside?
Beany is such a big cute, sweet baby now!

Wow, snow already. I hope you will get some more warmish days before the real winter sets in. Did you do all the covering up by yourself? Or did you have help? Lots of work. Time to set up that wonderful greenhouse isn't it? Stay warm.

Yes Beany is just a soft big cuddling baby. We have to snuggle on couch together several times per day so she gets her loving.
I will run the tropical pond all winter. This winter I will have a plant light under the dome. The dome is bigger than the dome last year. A plant light will offer warm light and that too will keep this pond warm.

I did it myself and getting good at it. I have a system and it takes me only a short time to erect. I have moved my stuff inside greenhouse for now but I hear it will warm up again next week.

Thank you, Colleen. This is just so inspiring! It makes such perfect sense. I am hoping for better luck with my Koi this winter.

I'm going to see if I can hold off til December to cover mine, but I think I'll do the same thing as you and see how it goes. It's doing just fine so far with just the 300 watt aquarium heater you recommended here in Southern Vermont (but we've had no snow yet). I'll make my own update post, but my guppies are doing just fine in water temps down to 50 degrees so far (tropical fish - pffftt). I need to go skim a metric f-ton of fall leaves out of it today and finish removing the waterfall box for the winter (because I'm not convinced it's deep-freeze-safe plastic). Thank you for your inspiration!

sorry I took so long to respond. Got to make more time for myself, been busy working and running to take care of my mom. Deep cold is here, and my ponds are all still running, covered with coldframes so it uses much less energy to heat with just one heater ...

I am back everybody!!! Going to be more active now that winter is here and I am not so busy taking care of yard, work and everything. My mom is progressing nicely with just the odd flu bug here and there. Will try to get good video with me and my mom this week.

So on to the Greenhouse and Koi ponds, take a look at whats growing on in the greenhouse! Watch to end of video and see I got GREEN Lilly pads growing outside in my bottom pond in Minus 24 Celsius temperatures!!
