Note from Nedra, rec.ponder

For all you rec.pond regulars I heard from
Nedra today.
Her mother passed away from the stroke she suffered
in December. She was a lady in her 90s so she had lived
a long and happy life and was still on her own up
to the end. We can all wish for so much.

Nedra has changed providers and not able to get to
newsgroups yet. I sent her info about using Google
since I had to change when AOL dropped newsgroups.
So hopefully, when things calm down for her, she can
pay us a visit.

She said spring is being very stingy about showing
up in Missouri. She has her pond fellow coming in
April so by then things should be warming up.

So far spring has always come, even to impatient rec.ponders!
And yesterday *was* the first offical day. Hope Mother
Nature is checking her messages...

## I was wondering where Nedra went. Sad about her mother. We should all
live so long and be independent to the end.

## There are FREE newsservers you guys can use, right from Outlook Express.
I'm using one now. Please Google: aioe.org and x-privat.org and
sunsite.dk - there are even more!

## Her climate is similar to mine. I'm in zone 6 TN. :-)

## Today was a gorgeous day here in TN. I got to set-up the pump and filter
on the smaller pond and add the small filters to some of the breeding pools
behind the house. The tree men spent the afternoon removing a huge oak
from in front of the house. A fine tree but too large, too close to the
house and becoming too dangerous. What a shame it had to go. There's
enough wood out there now to heat our house for next winter. Unfortunately
a lot of saw dust got into the ponds. :-( The fish looked OK at sundown.

I think there will soon be a charge for that one. A one time fee I believe.
All the free ones I've tried work fine.

Didn't you get the message? news.individual.net is no longer free (as of
the end of this month, I think). Something like $14 a year now.
