It will be nice to clear the pond out but this drought is becoming quite scary. Fires everywhere and no end in sight. Doesn't bode well for the trees/plants.

I can see by the bank how low your pond is and the trees must really be suffering.<br />We went through a period like this in the late 90s and many trees declined from the stress of heat and lack of water.<br />Then for some reason things changed and we started having rain once to twice a week and more snow - the lakes are up thank heavens and trees are recovering.<br />The work crew looks willing and able - good luck to them!<br />Have a good weekend Kathy!Judith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-31662284116576517842015-08-06T07:53:18.737-07:002015-08-06T07:53:18.737-07:00It looks like you have two strong helpers for your...It looks like you have two strong helpers for your husband as you clear the wood.

Isn't it amazing how dry we are here in PNW? And it's the same through my area on the Olympic Peninsula, and all the way into Alaska where we were in June...NOAA says all the way to next fall, which is not good! Glad you have lots of handsome helpers!<br />RuthAntiques And Teacupshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353180034537009493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-90088888064431237812015-08-06T07:40:39.794-07:002015-08-06T07:40:39.794-07:00Oh boy...so your drive was during that fire that c...Oh boy...so your drive was during that fire that closed I-90.

For us down here though, it probably won't happen until the end of Oct. the beginning of Nov.<br /><br />Enjoy being back home and looking forward to good times burning wood and having s'mores and hot chocolate when the weather turns chilly.
