TGIF

For some reason, this has been an unusually long week at work. Each day seemed to never end and the workload doesn't get smaller or go away - somehow it just grows and grows. OK, I know, I'm whining and I probably need some cheese with that. And I'll take it gladly.

So - it's Friday night and finally a chance to unwind. Spousal unit and I decided to start on the pond tomorrow afternoon - weather permitting. We're going to drain the whole thing, disassemble the waterfall - which basically means disassembling the entire pond, research the leak, fix it, and fill 'r up again! I think we should go ahead and get everything done, let it run and get re-balanced from an ecological standpoint, and see what happens. I have to have fish for the spring and summer....it's oh so every relaxing to sit and watch them. But with the falls off for a couple of weeks now, it's just looking really ugly. And we need to take care of things before mosquito season starts so the water is constantly moving. I'm looking forward to a "spring cleaning" with the pond, getting all the gunk and leaves out and starting anew. I think there's a frog in the pond because sometimes when you walk by, the water ripples a little and I see bubbles...so SOMETHING is in there. Like the Lock Ness Monster...only smaller.

So spring is here - time for renewal and rebirth and mulch and mowing and ......oh god, I forgot how hard it is to be a homeowner over the winter. Time to get moving!

Happy Easter to All. Be safe - be happy and most of all, be with the ones you love and let them know it.
