Lost the eggs.
Totally out of firewood and I totally drained the solar batteries running an electric heater. Sitting here freezing with no power. It's 38F in here right now.

Sorry to hear that

So sorry Michelle

Most definitely. We're going to get a propane stove.

Jealous! I hate electric stoves.

Good morning everyone.

I've got 2 days of posts to catch up on. Been fighting those darn angry birds.

I'll answer posts as I go.

I've seen some of the posts about that but haven't checked on the thread for a while. Has any solution been found?

So sorry you lost your eggs Michelle. That's disappointing.

It's 38* in your house?!? Yikes, that's just not right!

Thanks for the info! I wasn't planning to make it slope, thinking of putting it in a flat part of the yard, but the step thing is a good idea. And wow that's a big pond! I'm probably thinking a similar size though.

And actually I think I somewhat am thinking a slope. I have two ideas.

One is just a big hole in a flat part of the yard. Kind of ugly but I could probably landscape it. The other one is there's this hill in the backyard and I was thinking of like waterfalls down it. That's my mom's idea actually haha



Thank you!!



Thank you!

I think I'll probably go with 3 feet then or maybe slightly deeper or shallower in some areas?

Or I could get a deicer?



That's a good point, I hadn't thought of that.

Its good to put a pond in a place where it looks natural, a low spot where water naturally collects you notice these places after a heavy rain. That is how we chose a spot for the pond we had a guy dig with a bulldozer in TN.

Really! She needs to bundle up. A wood stove sure helps, we love ours!

Good Morning Friends

Sorry to hear about the eggs Michelle

Congratulations Michelle and Ron!

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, typical Sunday for me … finish housework, trip in to town for groceries and then back to hopefully spread the mulch and water the plants; no need to do the lawn due to predicted showers for most of the week. If I have time, might also chip away at those palms. Will try and remember to get a picture of the croton and desert rose too. 88F predicted for today.

Pictures are always a good idea!
