well, these pails look quite innocent…

but not… I finally spent ages at the sink in the kitchen cleaning all the yucky algae from the 2 pumps and the 4 buoys that had been in the pond…

thankfully, I had put water in them while I was waiting for the energy (desire?) to clean them…

usually I get the job done outside where it is a much simpler task, lol…

need to remember that for next fall…
