The Zen Life

Two years ago we removed our above ground pool (after a particularly poor NY summer where we spent only two days in the pool!!). We intentionally didn't fill in the "hole that first year--hoping to fill it in with water in the winter so the kids could skate on it. And of course, that first winter had incredibly warm weather--no freezing!!

Fast forward a year--and with all the projects we had going with the house--we STILL haven't filled that hole in (this Spring it will be for sure!). But after a winter of heavy snow and then several days in the 50s and then several days in the 20s --we have our frozen pond!!!

And there was much rejoicing by the boys in the Sirotkin household!
