What does your pond look like ... Today?

Poor things! Hope they don't starve to death!

They won't. Our front yard is at the top of a hill so the snow melts faster and exposes green vegetation first.
Our natural pond on the other side of the property is already completely frozen over though.
What most ranchers are doing is selling off some of their herd to pay for feed for the cattle they keep this winter.
Not an easy decision to make.
Hopefully this early snowfall will provide some moisture for next years feed crop.

Goodness @MitchM - you went from 10 minutes of summer straight into winter!

Oh so you live in the warm balmy area of your neighborhood

You can build them a watering hole pond for next summer, @MitchM.

So nice of you to share your land with the cattle @MitchM . I look forward to seeing that pond completed next year!

My one small pond, most likely fishless. The parrots feather, which I thought had all died over winter came back beautifully!

The plant has some roots down deep, it slowly started to grow up as summer arrived. Usually this pond is full of string algae which I leave for the critters, this year none.

rained last night and heard there was more mud slides on the side hills off highway 58 .The trees uprooted and took the hills with them

We have wonderful sunny weather here until next week. I finally removed all aquatic plants for the year. I wish this sunny calm weather would last through next spring.

I need to start clearing out my pond plants and cutting back the lilies but its hard to do when some are just starting to bloom. Night blooming red tropical.

It’s a yearly dilemma - beautiful bloom, @mrsclem!

Me too wish this weather would last forever @Troutredds
