This time of year my water is at it's clearest! I don't have a UV filter so
I always go through a period of green water each spring but ultimately it
clears. The water in the deepest part (about 4 feet) looks to be only about
a foot deep. The water lilies are beginning to die back and I'll be putting
up my netting to keep leaves out in a few weeks but the water is looking
great about now.

Last weekend was the start of thinning down of the lily pads. They will now
not grow as fast as I'll be thinning them I'm sure. Still some buds coming
up. Arrowheads changing color, guess they're ready to go to sleep for the
winter. Lotus hasn't put up any new pads in awhile.

Little Jack pumpkins all getting nice and orange. Those plants are taking
over a large section of the planter boxes. ~ jan
