All ponds were covered this weekend in very nice weather. I had a jump on
it, since school was only a 1/2 day on Friday, so I left with the kids at
11:30am. I did the koi ponds that day and the lily pond the next. Today I'm
resting. Hopefully the forecast for next weekend is correct, a tad cooler
but still very nice to work on the filters and either slow them down (koi
ponds) or turn them off (lily pond) for winter.

I found another reason watercress is a wonder, added pictures to
photobucket showing how well watercress can hide plumbing. It has found a
good foothold in my blocks at the one end of the lily pond.

Hopefully by next year it will be all the way across.

There is a white pvc elbow and ball valve that comes over the blocks at the
end and connects to the black spray bar... but you can't tell it he

To see all my fall pictures they start on Page 3, 1st pic says "spray bar".
