Today, Michael got down and dirty in and around the pond and tried to clean it all out. Since we bought the house back in 2008, the foliage around the pond has gotten to be a little (ok, a lot!) out of control and cattails had started growing in it. We were starting to get worried about the fishies in the pond because the cattails had taken over! So, we decided that this was the year, before the baby arrives, that we were going to show the pond who is boss! haha
Michael started out by cutting down all of the old flowers and plants from last year and then literally stood in the pond for a few hours this afternoon and ripped out almost all of the cattails. Who knew that the root systems of cattails were so intense?! My poor Mikey's arms are about to fall off from all of the pulling he had to do. But nonetheless, the pond is almost all clean (even though the water is super murky from all the mud that was moved around) and the fishies finally have some freedom to swim around!
