Day 72. Big day today!
We cleaned out the pond. We took
all the water, plants, muck out of the pond.
It took 3 hours but there is nothing left. It is a big hole in the ground. I decided that until the drought is over, it
was better to empty it. The raccoons and
other wildlife were not going to stop trying to hunt for food so it would be
futile to fill the pond back up and restock it with fish. I would be back to ground zero in a few
months. For now the pond stays
empty. The neighbors will appreciate
that the smell has gone away. Pond muck
smells like rotten eggs. Not that I know
what rotten eggs smell like but it is what I assume rotten eggs smell like.
I also had dinner with a new friend, R. I was happy to hear from her because we seem
to get along so well. Unfortunately she
is moving away in a few weeks but she swears she will stay in touch.
Until tomorrow…
