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 The ice is melting fast...
24 Mar 2003

The weather has finally warmed up, and the ice is melting fast on the pond. The water temperature is starting to get above freezing.

So far, I have found one dead fish (a small one) and two dead frogs -- one of which was a whopper. At least two frogs survived, as did the rest of the fish. I suspect that the frogs tried to overwinter on the shelf round the edge of the pond, but the ice came down and trapped them.

I think that I'll wait for another couple of weeks until I reconnect the pump and start up the waterfall. By then, the water should be a lot warmer and the fish should be taking more of an interest in what is going on.
