Please send some snow my way! I think we
beat the record high yesterday, around 105, and
today might be almost as hot. Topping off
the ponds means getting up early so as not
to disturb the bees that get really POd when
I get too close to *their* watering hole!

Occasionally it will get cold enough here for
the above-ground (stocktank) ponds to form
a thin shell of ice, but that's easy to remove. The
in-ground pond has never iced over ("never"
is relative - the pond is only about 3 yrs old).
