My aching back…

This was Deathmarch Thursday…a little writing this morning, and Jane alternated writing with hitting the front flowerbeds with fertilizer. I got the filter washed out, and can say we are showing signs of improvement in the pond. Then the marine tank. This is the...

A little up and down progress…

Before we took our trip I first installed a new chopped-foam bag for the filter in the pond, then took it out. This loosed a massive amount of crud into the pond. We got through the 2 week absence pretty well, but the weather has been iffy, a lot of rain, and now...

A surprise is in the offing…

The Methodists are coming!

The church across the way has for some reason taken us under its wing—they came to our rescue when Jane was sick last year, laying paths in the back yard, around the koi pond, helping with weeding, and such, and laying the very heavy boundary stones, moving our...
