There is a pond across the street from the old shop. It's fairly decent size, probably over 3 acres, and spring-fed. There are actually a few springs, that usually keep it from freezing over, though it has happened a few times. Along with the recent snowstorm, it has been bitterly cold, well below the norm. Because of the pond, calm traffic, and quite a bit of grass, there are almost always a few Canadian geese around. The size of the group varies, but there are almost always some around, usually some ducks too.
Last Saturday, there were two swans out there with them. That is something I have never seen. It was extremely cold and windy that day, before the snow blew in. They were sitting out there on the ice, with their heads buried under their wings. They looked really odd, almost like a big snowball, right near the edge of the water. Today, they were still there.
