Ponds looking good Colleen, wow you don't have much snow on the ground. I have more snow then you .
You are also warmer then me right now. You must live in a banana belt.

Addy, you are still in the "honey moon" stage, honeymooning with a small Missy raising your "love child! together!! My pond would be froze still too but the 1250 watt heater defrosts things quick, although it has been warm and things are melting the last few days, park is turning to a mud bath and our "love puppies" have to run thew every darn puddle they see. Just finished washing and scrubbing the floors down. It never even got below freezing last night!!

Your pond looks so nice and clear all the time Colleen. Spring coming soon! Have lots of fun w/ your family today. We will watch the rain fall here all day long. Gives my pond a nice cleansing

Well my mom came to see the kitchen and the colors that I painted, she stared at everything and thought I had new doors to the bathroom and spare room, She really looked hard and did not say too much, just stared lots... I think she like it cause she stayed a long while and seemed very relaxed and ate lots of the nice breakfast I made for her. I will admit the colors are unusual and loud, but I picked them so I must be unusual and loud too! he he he

The ponds are now mostly defrosted and free of ice, except for the bottom pond, that pond still has at least half of its ice. I the were resting nice and waiting for the sun to move over a little and shine down on them...

Nefew and my Mom having coffee and reading the news paper. Were off to the park soon, me and the nefew, looks like it is going to be a nice day today, feels like spring is in the air and the birds were singing happy in the trees as I took pictures a few moments ago.

Boy what a difference a couple days make at your pond! Looks like old man winter may have left the building.....................you hope!

Looks great, Colleen.
I can't believe you have no snow! We still have 2 feet here.

 

[callingcolleen1]

I swear the sun shines brighter here Mitch, but we still have some snow still, my front yard still has lots of snow and ice cause that side of the house is in the shade. Now the sun is shining right on the ponds and the fish are soaking up some nice warm sun rays today. Even in the middle pond the fish were starting to creep out from under the yellow flag roots. It was just a week or so ago that I was complaining of record amounts of ice on the pond!!

Wow what a difference a couple days make. Looks like old man winter may have left the building...............you hope!

just for you colleen the instant granite is neat ,but the appliances are cool but expensive

 

[callingcolleen1]

I think I will tile the back splash area first and then might look at other options.

 

[callingcolleen1]

I seen thoses stoves and they are very pricy, so maybe in the future they will have a cheaper version. Ran out of "steam" this morning cause I had to work last night, soaking old bones in hot tub with bath salts and in desperate need a of large coffee this morning to get me going again!!

 

[callingcolleen1]

Dear Pond Friends... I am sorry to inform you that I LIED!! There will be no spring coming anytime soon!! This was yesterday, and today pond has only one small hole open cause last night was so cold.....
