fall weather report

Last night, at 4am, or I guess I should say, this morning, at 4am, I turned on the furnace. Too cold to sleep. Yesterday it rained and youngest son reported it was cold in the classroom. DH tackled the garage. Pond is still on the list. I'm going to move one of the deck pond plants into the frog bog. It is a grassy plant with tiny, yellow starlike flowers that bloom for a day. A good ponder would know the name. I did report it somewhere back last spring... The chrysanthemums are blooming on the deck. I like the rust and plum coloured varieties. k :-) http://tinyurl.com/6bguh ~ new pond keeper info http://tinyurl.com/yp64db ~ slide show of pond We've had our heating on since Thursday (and probably needed it a day or two sooner apart from my stubborn attitude of the heating does not go on until at least October - a few sleepless nights convinced me).....quite depressing as we haven't had a summer in the UK yet.... :-( Although looking at the forecast it looks like I might be able to get outside sometime next week to finish off the pond edgings and tidy the garden and get the plants in for the spring.....(wall flowers, daffs, tulips etc).....Pleased to say that some of the plants I bought for the pond are doing quite well at the moment - especially the pepper grass some of which is placed in the deepest part of the pond but is now reaching almost to the surface (2ft6) - of course I know that it will have some die off over winter but I'm hoping that it will survive.....Actually, without wanting to wish my life away, I can't wait until spring when I can get the pond planted out properly and start adding fish - such a bummer it took so long to dig it and I couldn't finish it in time this year. We bought some solar powered lights disguised as rocks for round the edges of the pond as an experiment, not expecting much especially with the amount of cloud etc. but it is now 1am and they are still going since coming on at dusk.....I think we will get some more at some point......
