My Blog

I suppose that this is really a blog, though I hesitate to call it that. The real bloggers seem so much more interesting. I cover stuff which I find interesting, and I hope that you will too.

Topic: Pond Pond winterization
13 Nov 2002

I finally put the pond to bed for the winter this last weekend. We took all the plants out and cut them back. Most were put back in the bottom of the two ponds, but some ended up in Rubbermaid tubs in the basement. Unfortunately one turned out to be cracked which necessitated an emergency trip to Home Depot to get a replacement.

The pondcam came out of the pond as I was nervous about ice breaking the glass and letting the water into the electronics. I've changed the display to show video that I recorded a few days ago. The fish were moving pretty slowly as it was cold.

Of course, the weather then warmed up....
