The pond foliage is coming to life, and, strangely enough, there is a maturity to the plants this year. I've always known that has to happen as plants get older but have never actually paid attention to the lives of specific plants before. Plants (even the ones I planted) have always been a blur of scenery rather than an aggregate of individuals. The pond will be beautiful soon.
Bill's granddaughter learned to walk up the pond berm today and spent time playing in the waterfall. It was neat to watch.
The temperature was perfect but I don't know specifically what because the numbers are less interesting this time of year.
