What does your pond look like ... Today?

[j.w]

I’m glad you’re safe and sound, Queen of Animated gifs!
Our dear friends up in Ferndale aren’t so fortunate. The Nooksack River flooded them out of their home. Whatcom county has the worst flooding in over 130 years.

Thank you and thanks to @brokensword he pronounced me Queen,lol!
So sorry for your friends losing their home. They will have to start all over which will not be easy for them I'm sure.
My sister lives up in Sedro Woolley and they were surrounded by water. Two lakes right below her turned into one. People were picking up Salmon swimming across the roads from a stream that flooded. She is safe tho too as up on a hill that overlooks all the mess.

29 koi moved in, 7 koi separated to sell, old media moved over, still need to redo the old filter setup in a temporary spot for winter, for 3 total filters.
Temporary net put up. Will be ordering and installing framework for a permanent net over whole area and shade cloth will be added as needed.

No yard. Just an apartment patio. Doubt pennywort will grow well on concrete.

DONT BET ON IT ! IT GROWS ON RUBBER AND IT GETS SCORCHING HOT

Just glad we live up a 300ft hill! Never will I ever live in a place where the floods could get me.

Pond equipment porn alert!

Santa Clause came early yesterday and brought me a new filter. Oddly, he wasn’t in his usual red and white suit and was driving a brown and yellow truck instead of a red and gold sled pulled by reindeer.

He knew I needed this. The old filter was leaking real bad.

Hmmm..... I think there's a pond somewhere under there.

It took a bit of scooping, but most of the results of last night's wind storm has been removed.

The fish seem happier to be able to see the sun!

@BKHpondcritters it looks so much better now! Good job

Thanks! We always have a couple of days like this in the fall. Most days it's just a little mess to deal with, but once or twice we have a BIG leaf dump all at once. Fall's running late this year. We still have quite a bit left to go.

Dang how many hours of scooping did that take. I'll be having my fun tomorrow

Watch out for that tubing it is not the best . they call it kink free but it is prone to blowing.

Honestly, it was maybe an hour. Scooping the surface doesn't take as long as having to go around & hand-pick them off the shelves (which I'll wait on until the trees are done dumping! Once for that chore is enough. lol)
