Default Status of the pond season

Last weekend I covered the lily pond and turned off and cleaned the filter.
Koi pond's filter was put in partial winter mode, still using big pump, but
throttled a bit. Today the rest of the plants will be trimmed in there and
the koi ponds will be screened, so goes the season.

Taro under the cover of the deck, and will remain there until it looks to
be freezing cold weather then they'll be brought inside. I need to clean up
the garden and dig in the bonsai.... so goes the season.

But then I can soon relax, with a hot tea and a fire.... so comes the
season. ~ jan
