If you look closely at the bottom third, you can see a patch of algae green just above the paving stone. That’s a pond. I need a day away from screens, so today’s job is is lop away and shred the bottom foot of that holly, pull out and shred those nettles, investigate and amend the soil around the pond in preparation to plant grass and thyme there, and scoop out the pond itself. In high winds and freak chill. The “feels like,” by the way, is 10 degrees.
