Well, once again the time has arrived to shutdown the ponds for winter. at least this year I am shutting down ponds and not just holes in the ground. I still have a few projects to finish out over the next few weeks but nothing major until the spring.
Thanks again to all the help from this site on the ponds, fish, buildings, ect...Let me get in touch with my sensitive side for moment...I know I could never have gotten this far without the help from you all. My wife likes the ponds enough to have the Christmas card be pictures of the ponds and the kids at the ponds.
Merry Christmas and Peace on Earth from the Pedersens' ponds.
