Buddy and Guy should be stopping in any time now. They have been on the West coast for several weeks and might be surprised by the weather. It's in the lower 70's right now, but drops below freezing when the sun goes down, and even though there are no predictions, I'm sure we'll have a blizzard any day.
If I do a little each morning I might win the clutter in the pond battle. The willows are dumping all of their leaves and unwanted branches into the pond, which is not the best thing to happen - decaying organics eat oxygen.
