Kathy flew to California last Wednesday, to attend the wedding of one of the girls she used to work with at Teen Challenge. She flew back into Kansas City this afternoon and will be home tomorrow. Sounds like she had an enjoyable time.
I haven't been doing much while she has been gone. I did pick the first of our blackberries several days ago. They probably need to be picked again but I was to lazy.
Our pond was totally overgrown by duck weed, even though I sprayed it a couple of times with vegetation killer. I think all the fish have died due to lack of oxygen. I, and Kelsey & Andy, have been removing the weeds we can reach with a pool screen/skimmer. After some research I bought 3 different chemicals, mixed up a "witches brew" and sprayed part of the weeds. It looks like it works. 18 hours after spraying it the weeds I sprayed were turning brown. Note the top left area of the photo.
I've spent over 5 hours dipping weeds over the past several day, and Kelsey & Andy have also done some. Probably 30% of the pond surface is not weed free. I may need a boat before I can spray the ones in the middle of the pond.
We have been getting some rain every day. Not steady but everything stays wet.
May God bless you and yours.
