The record and near record warmth that we have had since the first, has
warmed the ponds up to the 70 degree mark so the heaters went off. Saving a
few dollars a day right now. The fish eat voraciously twice a day. The
taro are growing and the hyacynths are surviving. Strange weather this
year. Christmas was several degrees below normal, and this year running
between 20 and 30 degrees above normal.

What is the current status of your pond?

The screens have 4" of snow on them, but with my wireless thermometer I
can
see that the water is liquid, I can also "hear" the water moving... but
that requires going "outside".... like brrrrr!

I haven't even gone up and looked at the lily pond, maybe I'll do that
today. I'm hoping the fact I floated milk jugs on it that they are holding
the shade cloth off the surface of the water. ~ jan
