well I "winterized" the pond a couple weeks ago, then finally covered it over and
dropped in the 500 watt heater and the temp rose nicely to almost 60 with the warm
spell last week. dropped a bit since then but everyone is happy to see me with food.

now I have to remember to give em some food every 3-4 days. I soooo miss my nice
little back yard and pond in winter. Ingrid

I'm hoping tomorrow is the last mowing of the season. Ponds currently are
in the high 40's. No feeding here, and just as well, I need the break of
anything outside once the leaves are all raked up. Wind did a number on us
this week so I'll be doing more vaccing of those, but only around the koi
pond area. First time, in a long time, I'll have all major fall chores done
before T-day. Probably since I took over the yard and put in ponds. ~ jan
