had a great day in the garden on Sunday…

spent most of it on the deck, reading in the sunshine…

I also spent time working at the pond… we tried to take off the tarp a few days ago but it was too heavy as it still had a lot of water and a ton of soggy leaves in it… the plan was to wait for another person to help us…

I put the pump in the pond again… the other day when I tried this the hose popped off and gave me a pond-water shower;-(… this time I got rid of most of the water… then I put it into the tarp and got a fair bit of water out of it…

after that I was able to drag it out of the pond and bag the leaves… they filled half of a garbage can, lol…

then the tarp was spread out in the grass, hopefully drying, so it can be folded up and put away…

maybe in the next few days I will vacuum the bottom of the pond and fill it with water…
