Whatcha doing today?

A few days ago, I spent time cutting grass and making hay in Farming Simulator.

Today, I'm clearing snow.

Great news @addy1 on getting your first vaccine ! Hubby got his a few weeks ago and I get mine next week

Spread a tarp on the driveway and spray painted the conduit black that we use to hold up our wide weave net over the pond. Last year we put it up so quickly and hardly noticed the black net, but the light gray conduit was an eye sore.

while you're in the painting mood, if you also add some random sprays of brown and green, you can make it camouflage! I'm doing that now with some outdoor speakers I plan on putting in my pondhouse this summer...

Good idea. I'm going to keep these solid black as that's the color of the net, but I am trying to figure out what color to paint some of my white PVC return lines

I moved one of my metal frames like I did my mini pond in, only this one is for growing potatoes in this year. Then took another one out to my sister, for her to make her own mini pond. Ended up bringing my niece home, then played a bit of dress up. She’s 12, but oh dear god, her body is developing, and the next 6-8 years are going to be rough on the boys! And her mom, myself, dad.... I don’t know if we can afford the bail yet, better start saving up. Luckily she’s still a Tom boy, but I took the time to teach her how to do subtle makeup, and then how to glam it up a little for nighttime/ dates. And I ended up giving her some of the clothes I don’t quite fit anymore, after gaining 30+ lbs the past 5 years. She can fit a size 6 woman’s jeans!

We are supposed to get a big batch of the 17 year cicadas !! I'm wondering if I'm going to need to use my finer weave net to keep them from clogging the pond.......I'm sure it'll be mess in the pool too!!

The net won't stop the bugs it is a new wide weave for the heron

Don't think the cicadas will be a pond problem. We have had them here before and have never had one in the pond.

I am only worried out our nectar producing trees, they are emerging right when the bees do most of their nectar collection. We have only about 6 weeks of good nectar flow here in Md in the spring. We loss a lot of honey production last year due to the late freeze that wiped out the black locust buds.

I just raided the comic collection again to purchase a half acre of land on the Rim canal of Lake Okeechobee. The lake is on the other side of the dike. About 2 miles down the canal, there's a lock that will take me into the lake. We hope to build there net year.

@Mike in Vermont , beautiful piece of property !

@addy1 , hoping Spring frosts don't affect your nectar trees.

@mrsclem , Here's hoping they don't end up in the pool or pond.......last time ( 17 years ago ) we were shoveling their smelly corpses off our driveway

Painted the white PVC return lines to pond a nice muted matte green, looks very nice

Thanks. I'm pretty excited.

Thanks. I'm pretty excited.

How neat! We drive by it, sort of, on our way down there. We end up in Delray Beach when done driving. Are you going to move out of Vermont? Become a Floridian?

To build on the property, we would need to sell the house in Vermont. We have a motor home so we could go somewhere cooler in the summer.
