We arent married out of all our friends who did they are all divorced , its that peice of paper that does it everytime , it seems to change the dynamics of a relationship
But all said and done we are man an wife in the eyes of Bitish law "common law man and wife , everyone wants to know our secret to a happy reltionship its everything shared 50-50 , reminding each other everyday that we love each other uprise one another with little tokens of our love and though from time to time we argue we never go to bed on an argument

We're getting cooler temps this next week and rain on Sunday. I donned my waders and trimmed my lilies back and netted the pond with the new net I feel sad, but I have tow lg. trees overhead and they're already starting to drop leaves.

The new net is 1/8 inch mesh, so should do a good job of preventing my cedar tree from dropping small debris in the pond when the wind blows. I don't have the sides snuggly secured, so I can watch my fish, feed them and frogs can hop about.

 

[tbendl]

This is a picture of our love bugs. They walk/fly around like this, butt-to-butt. I always wonder who is stuck walking backwards. Kinda like when you have to move furniture you always have to decide who is going to walk backwards...
Anyway, whenever these little guys show up it's a sure sign that fall or spring is coming. And Tula, that makes me sad, having to cover up the pond already. We have a huge tree overhead that will undoubtedly make me curse like a sailor when it begins to shed but I can't imagine covering it up. Now next year might be a different story.

 

[addy1]

I just let the leaves fall in then net them out. We get some maple, apple leaves. If nature is good the prevailing wind usually sends them away from the pond.

 

[j.w]

@tbendl some just lay some bird netting or whatever kind of netting where the holes are smaller than the leaves and just leave it on till the leaves drop and then take it off. Fortunately I just have my one little Japanese maple by my pond and not many leaves blow in that direction. I do have a net on now all the time cuz of the darn heron so that kinda helps too.

 

[tbendl]

We have, I think, a cedar tree which sheds all of it's leaves right behind the pond. It is too late in the season for me to build a pvc frame to hold a net so I'm going to let it shed this year and see how much of a PITA it is to net and clean between now and the spring. If it is, I'll build one for next year. For some reason I think it all seems to drop at once, like the tree in Harry Potter, so it might be an easy thing to deal with. Either way I'm stuck for this year.

 

[j.w]

The worst that can happen T is you will have to get in there and muck it all out w/ a net. It's not that bad and it can be quite a zen experience
