Below the green, the water is clear!

.
We've strange green seeds floating on top of the pond. It is not pollen. It is the size and feel of cornmeal, uniform in size. It never has appeared before in the ten years we've had the pond.


The bad part is, with this stuff on top, some scum is forming. Now, with this latest heatwave 95+, anything will grow like crazy.


One good cannon ball jump into the pond does temporarily clear it away. The water is crystal clear to five feet below the top. The grandchildren having a whooping good time.




Sixteen Beissers partook of pizza, fruit, cupcakes, donuts and ice cream in the sweltering 95+ heat.


Only FX 4 and Jacob were missing. They were climbing a 14,000 ft mountain in Colorado in below freezing temperature. Something isn't right here?


Bailing the paddle boat. Getting ready to paddle off into the shady and quiet side of the pond.
