Pond gifts, Whatya get for Xmas?
Any interesting pond or garden gifts, or pond/garden related, received this
year? My mother gave me a wind chime w/tubes ~4 feet long. The tones sound just like church bells. DH is gonna hang them from the peak of the beam that extends out over our deck. :o) My sister, the professional artist, gave me the original of 3 koi swimming, all matted, framed and ready to hang. :o) ~ jan See my ponds thru the seasons and/or my filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Defrosted~ Tri-Cities, WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |

Jan,
Hang your big wind chimes closer to the house so they do not get a lot of wind pushing them. In high wind situations they tend to make a lot of noise and can cause serious problems when the big tubes get swinging. Tom L.L. "~ jan JJsPond.us" wrote in message ...

Hi Tom, :o)
They're hanging on the most protected (north) side of the house, but if there is a problem, DH said we could move them closer to the house. I think it will be fairly protected since we rarely get North winds that blow real hard and the roof will protect from west or east side winds. I guess I'll have to turn the baby monitor back on to monitor my chimes. ;o) ~ jan On Fri, 26 Dec 2003 23:57:32 -0600, "Tom La Bron" wrote: Jan, Hang your big wind chimes closer to the house so they do not get a lot of wind pushing them.

dont worry, your closest neighbor will let you know. one of the few times I ever
called the police about noise was somebody with a set of these out on their balcony ... how they couldnt hear them was beyond me.

Jan, these chimes sound so neat ...
Do you happen to know where your Mom bought them? Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "~ jan JJsPond.us" wrote in message ...

I already have a forest of chimes, many of the not tuned cheapies. When a north wind does come.... well remember that lady with all the wind chimes and gadgets in Twister? That's me. I turned off my monitor in October because the racket was keeping me awake... the sporatic wind is the problem for me, not the clanging if it is constant..... and then, least we forget, I have the Pacific Tree Frogs in Spring. :o) I just went out there, we have a light breeze (6 mph) and I guess it isn't as protected as the ones down below, as none of them are chiming, but the new is... ever so lightly. Sounds just like a church in the distant. They'll never suspect me. ;o) ~ jan See my ponds thru the seasons and/or my filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Defrosted~ Tri-Cities, WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |

I got the combo bird bath and pond heater that's only 25 W and very expensive so I would never have bought it. I haven't set it up yet. Plus, I got a few more fish books to add to my pile of 180 books and 103 magazines I'll never get to read. Even though I'm 31, my mother always gets me some "fishy toys" and stuffed animals too. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Important Notice!

Do you happen to know where your Mom bought them? Nedra At a local garden shop going out of business. They're called Weatherland Chimes, mine in particular is "Chapel Bells in N.American Cherry". Maybe you can find them on-line? :o) ~ jan See my ponds thru the seasons and/or my filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Defrosted~ Tri-Cities, WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |
