I pumped out the pond yesterday to re-do the liner attachment to the bottom drain.

If it was holding some water, is the BD where the leak was?

It was a slow leak. And last summer the pond was loosing water when only half full.
I was in an all fired rush to get the liner in and attached and started filling it immediately and I think I compromised the seal. I will soon find out.

Ugh, need coffee. Long day yesterday and kinda sore, not bad though. Just keep the hot coffee coming. It is snowing, was supposed to be snow showers, but now a foot or so predicted.
Have a great visit and conference, Orca!
Enjoy your Spring flowers!

That's some carbon footprint.

Yes, anytime you travel it is unfortunately. Because of covid, it's my only chance to present my PhD work at a conference (which is something expected of you as a graduate student) - and it's not hybrid so there was no option to present online. Hence the reason that I'm using the trip as an opportunity to visit my sister (as I have to go through London to get to O Grove - just two flights as I spent the money to go direct instead of hopping all over the place) incase I don't see her for several more years. Likely I won't leave the country again for quite a while as I have a potential job offer for the fall that involves teaching university classes year round as a full time position in British Columbia back where my parents are. I'll actually be quite happy to settle down in a place for a while.

It can be really hard to find a leak.
Need to fill then wait and wait and wait until the level lowers to where the leak is.
I figured the water it held over the winter would do well to show you where the leak was/is.

Who looks after your chickens while you're away on your trips?

Good morning, and thanks for the coffee.

I never heard of that.

Did a search, and apparently Dog Tooth Violet is one of four commonly used names.

My better half... haha. He's getting ready for fishing season now, so can't come with this time.

We also have trout lillies.

These are also tasty. At least Piper thinks so.
