What a lovely surprise to hear from you Bonnie. Glad everything is
doing fine in your world.. in spite of DH's hospitalizations. Canaries
in your yard ... sounds so wonderful..

And Kathy, I hadn't heard about your and Jeff's surgery.
Happy that both of you are on the mend.

My ponds are clear - the lotus pond is in such a sad shape though -
waay too overgrown. A lack of dividing is the culprit. Thankfully I had
the koi pond redone! I really enjoy it and the koi.
