Return to the Pond ...
Well, after months of computer problems, ISP problems, family and pet
illnesses and deaths, ... I'm back!! Talk about withdrawal symptoms -- really miss this group when I can't get to it as often as I like. And now for the pond ... it's still there, LOL! I didn't get all the fall leaves out before the freeze and snow, but the fishies seem to be surviving just fine for now. Will just have to do a little extra spring cleaning in a FEW weeks. Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays! The best gift delivered by Santa this year was a digital camera to our 16yo son, so will be snapping some pics of the pond, garden, pets and kids soon. Errrr, I mean, he will be taking the pictures as I'm a typical mom, and know nothing about newer technology, LOL! -- Kathy, aka Zk 3500gal pond, 13 pond piggies Oregon, USDA Zone 7 |

ponds ready for spring right? LOL. Spoken like a true Neophyte. ;o) Actually after this winter, a real winter, in the PNW, I'll even look forward to the start of the ponding season. ~ jan |

Sorry, lol!! The "FEW" was meant to be tongue in cheek. I'm sure it will
be April-May before the water gets back to 45-50*. Your winter did start a little later than ours, but I suspect that our spring arrives later than your spring gets going. -- Kathy aka Zk Phyllis and Jim Hurley wrote: Welcome back.

With two inches of powder snow on the ground (on top of 1-3 inches of icy snow left over from New Year's Day), and 2/3 of pond covered in a thin layer of ice and snow, this is a good time to focus on getting our ponds ready for spring. Actually, I think the "getting ready" and planning starts as soon as we stop feeding the fish and get the pond ready for winter. LOL. Gotta have something to do while my toes are freezing. -- Zk |

Kathy, as a digital-camera owning grandma, I suggest you set the camera to A
or Auto & snap a few pix here & there. I've had my Canon Powershot for nearly 2 years, and I'm planning to read the instruction book any day ow -- not!

I have plenty to do. I never did install my diffuser last year, so I need to do that this spring. I have a ton of leaves in there, so I'll have that to contend with. My biggest problem is the leak in the stream. It forces me to do water changes, but I don't like being forced to do anything. BV. www.iheartmypond.com |
