Winter was never one of Zolan’s favorite seasons as it always meant shoveling the long driveway from the lake effect snow of Lake Michigan in bitter cold temperatures. But, Zolan understood that winter farm chores were just as important as the summer chores. In 2003, while living in Connecticut, there was a major nor’easter winter storm that dumped two feet of snow on the land which then inspired Zolan to create a winter farm scene with a John Deere tractor.
