YAY! I'm loving it too. Not many mosquitoes around here though. I
don't know why. Two ponds. Hmmmm.

Lucked out myself too. Laid some more soil out in some bare areas. Grass
seed has needed little water added to keep soil moist. Another bare area is
covered with newborne grass.

Haven't seen any "skeeters" yet. Seeing mushrooms on/off again in unusual
locations.

Drought moved east.

obviously they had problems handling alcoholic drinks

If you have fish in your ponds or lots of water flow, mosquitoes won't
breed there.

I remember a time in the late 90's when we had a similar situation and the
San Antonio Water System actually proposed a rate hike because we were not
using enough water and they were going broke.

Actually, we originally bought four 25 cent goldfish. They were one
inch thick. After three years they grew to be about 12 inches and
FAT. A heron came down and pierced one under the dorsal fin and the
next door dog barked and the heron dropped it and left. So, it died
for no reason. Then, the resident racoon did a job scratching them up
so I took them and donated them to Hill Country Ponds on 183. I visit
them! They're still growing.

I do have moving water by waterfall in one pond, in the other one we
have that water bell thing. It makes a globe of water? What's that
called? BUT, we also live directly in the flight path of the McNeil
Bridge where there exists the second largest urban bat colony in the
United States. They hang out all night and eat everything in sight.

Maybe I'm just lucky. Last night our sangha met here and I put out
incense, lots of it and no mosquitoes. Who knows.

Tons of mosquitos at my house. Has anyone noticed more leaves falling
lately? My live oaks have started dropping some leaves and I wondered
if it's due to all the rain?
