doesn't get here soon, I'll be pulling leaves out of the pump in water below 50F. That may not sound cold, but baby, it's cccccccold.

I removed the old net because snakes were having trouble moving over it. I don't care if snakes are around the pond. I can live with them in peace, but we need a net to keep the leaves out of the pond (and pumps) as best as possible. Husband had a fit, but oh well. The net I ordered came today -- the wrong net!!!! :eek:

The pump slowed to a trickle last night, so I unplugged it and waited for today to go in --- worrywart hubby is not around.

That water is COLD!!!!!! :shocked4: I'll probably have to go in one last time before the net gets here. I went in last week to clear the leaves from the pump. Hubby never even noticed. Which is good. I don't need a lecture.

:lol: My dad, a true Canadian farm boy, said, Oh come ON! It's not that cold.
Well, it was certainly warmer than when I had to go into the pond two years ago.....in February. :wacky:

The net did arrive today.....the wrong net! :cautious: So I wait for the right net to arrive and hope it does not get real windy again.
