The gander looks like he is ready to get on with this winter thing and see some real water. The spring that feeds the ice sculpture keeps a rivulet of open water down at the base where the gander is drinking.

Enjoy Our Pork!
Enjoy pork butchered in our family’s Vermont state inspected on-farm butcher shop here on Sugar Mountain Farm. Affordable quality pork from our family farm to your family’s table. One time purchases or weekly, biweekly and monthly CSA boxes available from $40 each. Save buying in bulk as a whole, half or quarter pig. See the Pork Page for details.
He will probably want to be well anchored later today if you get the wind we are expecting.
Looks like hes looking at himself in the reflection *lol*
BOY you sure have some cold temps there in Vermont! We got a good snow over the weekend – enough to play in about 4″ of it, but then it was all gone by Tuesday/Wednesday.
I’m enjoying all your pictures, your informative posts, and your musings.
He doesn’t seem to mind the cold. Our goose and gander are snug in the barn or maybe I should say trapped. lol I just dont’ want their lil webby feet to freeze :):)
He’s a handsome one. Is that a Toulouse?

Steph, The gander was given to us by our postal carrier, Annie. She said it is a Toulouse with possibly some African in it as well.
LOVE your goose – he looks like a Toulouse – we hope to add a pair when our pond finally fills up.
We’ve been watching the weather – y’all stay put and be careful!!
