spring pond work
 

DH, under my ever helpful direction..., got the waders
on and emptied the frog bog of leaves. Now flushing it
out with water. Want it all ready for froggy nursery
activity. jj said that last year she heard one outside
the end of March. If I get froggies to show up they
will be adopted eggs from jj's pond from last year
that we transferred all of three minutes via van to
my frog bog.
All total the bog holds between 600 to 800 gallons.
800 when it was first made but it has filled in some
from the sides with cattails and grasses.

We looked over the big pond and talked about what
needs to be done there this year between painting
the house, chopping up all the removings from the
shrubs and pruning the pussywillow from heck which
is huge and taking over the world.

Was windy but in the 60s. Felt good to be outside!

The weather was great for doing outside work here also. DS
and DH removed a maple tree from the yard (less droppings
Yeah!) and I spent time tidying the veggie filter, pond and
surrounding area.
Today it has gotten cooler and they are calling for 1-3" of
snow tonight.

It was cold here in Missouri ... at least too cold for me to
be out doing yard work.
We also had an irritatingly brisk wind kicking up leaves and
dust then dropping them all into the pond.

Ahhh - but the full moon was glorious!

I am forbidden to do any pond work until I get the house projects done.
Yesterday I went and bought the remaining supplies for the kitchen project
and the wood I need to frame the door out in the new playroom. I hope to
have all of the indoor stuff done in two weeks. LOL.
