Ok I checked at 1pm like I said but my thermometer said it was
98degrees in open sunlight. I took away the pool umbrella for the day
just to see what it was like before I added it. WOW that seems too
warm. With the umbrella providing shade the whole day I think it will
maintain about 80 degrees during the heat of the day. On top of thatI
seen a bird today snag one of my comets out of the pond today. Now I
have to work something out for that I guess. Does the madness ever end?
can I just sit back and relax and enjoy the pond without having to work
on it? Haha.
