Default Season Startup

After having the majority of spring break weather be cold, windy, and
rainy so outside was no place to be... Today the sun came out... actually
it teased us yesterday, but today was nice enough to start the koi pond
filter and uncover them. Found a male tree frog in the bottom of the pump
chamber. I moved him to the stock tank in an island of floating water
cress.

Speaking of which, those islands came thru winter very nicely. Marsh
Marigold is blooming fully. Fish look good. Motion sprinkler & hot wire on
tonight.

Tomorrow the lily pond! :-) ~ jan
