I believe it 70 thursday low of 40 today 6degrees!!!!

Crazy weather. I finally uncovered the pond here, but the nights are
sometimes just below freezing. Started up the waterfall to ensure it works,
then shut it off until the irrigation water comes on next week so I can
refill the pond after a winter's evaporation (our irrigation water is direct
from the river, so no chlorine).

Lots of muck coming out of the pond in the filter, but the fish wintered
well and are looking good. The water is clearing up quite rapidly and one of
the lotus has an aerial leaf forming already.

It's sure nice to be rid of the greenhouse

Mad,

What have you, John and the others done out there to make the snow gods mad.
I don't remember a single snow in the 3 years that I lived out there. I
remember long drives to Alpine in 110 -120 degree heat with no AC on that 51
Suburban. I remember the two snows in Tucson that we had. Completely
melted by 10:00 AM.

Oh man, bummer. We're 68.4 right now, gorgeous out, I'm only in long enough
to drink my smoothie, before I head back out. I'm leaving the screening on
the koi ponds till next weekend as they say we're going to dip down again
next week to 30s lows, 50s highs. Being on the north side of the house I
lose a lot of heat gain if the filter and waterfall are running. Water is
clear with the just using filtration in winter mode, and of course I'm not
feeding the fish. I did have to remove a corner of the screen today where
the marsh marigold was, the buds started blooming and getting smished
against the screen. ~ jan

Shouldn't it be pronounced ten one? We don't call 21 two one, 20 is twenty,
21 is twenty one, so 11 should be ten one. ;o)

Oh man, bummer. We're 68.4 right now, gorgeous out, I'm only in long
enough
to drink my smoothie, before I head back out. I'm leaving the screening on
the koi ponds till next weekend as they say we're going to dip down again
next week to 30s lows, 50s highs. Being on the north side of the house I
lose a lot of heat gain if the filter and waterfall are running. Water is
clear with the just using filtration in winter mode, and of course I'm not

the marsh marigold was, the buds started blooming and getting smished
against the screen. ~ jan

Shouldn't it be pronounced ten one? We don't call 21 two one, 20 is
twenty,
21 is twenty one, so 11 should be ten one. ;o)

How about oneteen?

i figure that since 22 is pronounced twenty-two that onety one is a better
pronunciation. :-D

I was so thinking "SPRING" at last! and then it snowed last night here on
Long Island.... Hard to believe that a couple of days before the fish were
up top begging for food and I was playing clean up around the pond...
