On Monday afternoon, I went to my dad's house to help him ready his pond for the winter. To do this, we both got in the water and cleared out all of the algae, duck potato, and water lettuce; trimming the lilies down to just about an inch. We also lifted out 10 very heavy, very water-logged potted plants that have to be taken out of the pond each winter to live in the garage where their temperature can be monitored. It took about 6 hours for the job to be complete . . . Thankfully we were able to work on what appears to have been the last warm day of the year!
