Winter's Comin'

A clean, crisp ring of ice about 6 inches wide had formed around all of the ponds today. It was a cold one this morning, and I don't think it has really warmed up. We spent the morning cleaning the place, and making sure that all the buildings are in tip-top shape.

Our sasquatch herd is doing the same thing. We've noticed increased activity amongst the sasquatches, they are preparing for the coming winter in their own ways. We have been finding bigger, larger nests made of bent saplings, and tree branches. They make them bigger in winter so more individuals can fit inside, thus keeping the temperature higher when they're all "nestled" in. There's an interesting sense of community amongst the sasquatch this time of year. You can tell that they are working together, quite diligently I might add, making their new nests, and also storing anything that might be of value to them. They become packrats in the winter, because they don't want to lose anything under the snow. We've found some interesting things in their nests come Spring.  Staff members who had lost articles of clothing during the fall while out in the woods have suddenly re-discovered them inside the nest of a sasquatch after the snows melted.

A couple bull elk were bugling this morning. The farm is absolutely magical this time of year. I hope to see you around. Let me know if you're stopping by!

Until tomorrow...
