Wife started killing willows on our 3rd pond using "the glove of death". Deep trench on 4th pond is about 3/4 full. Lotus is still struggling in our 3rd pond due to clay pond bottom. Not much rain in the near-term forecast, but we got enough to germinate the grass and oilseed radish around the 4th pond. Very pleasant weather in central Indiana right now. Got the ratchet straps tightened up on my ladder stands.
