Happy Kansas Day!

While most of the Northeast was getting socked by a major snowstorm, we were enjoying unseasonable temperatures over the past few days. In fact, yesterday found us in the low 70’s and Linda and I were out riding our bikes outside. I wore biking shorts without any leg warmers and was quite comfortable.

The pond fountain is running well; additionally, all 9 fish have been seen and swimming. Before it started warming up, the ice had been approximately 6″ thick. We were able to remove the leaf net from over the pond last week (it helps keep all of the falling leaves out of the pond). The net had been firmly embedded within the overlaying ice, but we were able to pull out the final piece of ice last week and let it finish thawing on the lawn.

The temperatures are back down in the 30’s today and the winds have been gusting 15-20mph. Ah, Kansas.
