Winter?

At least a small hint of it. After two days with some degrees minus and fog we got an amazing day today. -6 degrees and sun the whole day :))) Our lake is complete covered with ice and like every year we could not hold back to test the ice. By the way, the ice was holding and we come from the lake without wet feeds ;))

Even foggy evenings could be great!
What a beautyful day today. This morning I was at the lake by myself. You see, the lake is covered with ice.

The morningsun was shining through the frost-covered branches.

And at the ice of the lake.

Ok, I was not on my own at the lake ;))) Susan was of course with me, it´s not possible to do something without her :))) But so she had to come with me onto the ice to make this picture.

The fox and the rabbit were here some days ago when the ice was not that save...

When Jörg was coming home from work, we went to the lake to make the "ice-thickness-test". The ice it´s about 5 cm thick, so it´s thick enough that a horse can walk on it.

That looks all very well for the lake and the swamps (there is a lot of water in the swamps this year because of the heavy rain), but unfortunally the weatherforecast is not that good. In the morning they wrote that it should be cold from the beginning of November, now they promise warm weather (about +5 degrees) from the weekend and the whole next week :( But maybe they promise cold again tomorrow...never knows and we can´t change it ;)))
