Wish I could send you some of my temps. addy ,it would melt fast .I have to get more stain because I never finished staining the bridge on the pond .I did finish the wising well in the back .At least that one is over the well instead of over the septic tank 2 babies sunning them selves

hurry up and melt that big ice burg Addy! Maybe it takes longer to melt cause your pond is Down so low?

I see a cute fat little puppy I could squeeze and hug Sissy!!

Cleaned up the pond and finally got the waterfall put together and after 3 days working on it I think it finally looks pretty decent. I even cleaned up and split the lillies as they were starting to grow. It has been in the 70's the past 4 days and yesterday was in the 80's...back to the upper 50's and 60's for this week though. I swear Nebraska weather is totally wacked but I'll take the warmth! I still have the bog and pond plants in the basement under the grow light as I know it's not going to stay warm at nights yet. I still have the pathways and seating area's to do but it's a start and it was soooo nice to hear the water running on the new waterfall! Oh oh and I oops and dropped a rock to the bottom while working on the pond and mr bullfrog kermie came up! I dont think he was ready to be woke up yet though lol

The pond is on a down slope, sort of like a depression with the way I dug it into the bank and built up the lower bank. The temp there sort of settles, i.e. colder air does settle. We put our bee hives up on the top of our yard slope to keep them in a warmer part of the yard, less moisture cold settling.

The 1000 gallon tank has just a layer of crumbling ice now. The deck pond and 300 gallon tank both still have a solid block of ice stuck to the bottom.
The big pond is still around 5 inches or so of solid can't grab and break ice. BUT we are warmer so it has to melt at some time.............

Pond looks great @rebelangel_3733 and your weather sure sounds nice. W/those temps mr bullfrog can wake up early wearing his green for St Paddy's day!

Wind is so bad here I had a wheel barrow full of weeds and darn wind blew it over 3 different times and I had to pick all the stuff up again .I give up Mr Wind I give up

 

[rebelangel_3733]

It's windy here too and I've seen leaves flying into the yard over the wood fence all day...not amused I get everyone elses leaves when mine are done!

 

[sissy]

Used to happen to me at my NJ house ,all my neighbors leaves would blow into my yard .Here they just blow to the open land some where .Funny thing is I decided to go grocery shopping and went to Martinsville and no wind there just hot and get home and there's the wind .Have to remember races will be coming to Martinsville speedway and it gets crowded in town and i don't like those crowds

winds whipping around here, cold front blowing in, possible snow winter mix coming up on thursday/friday, then temps back up.

supposed to get down to 36 so I pulled plants under the porch and covered them .They are snuggly warm on concrete that sun has been shining on most of the day
