There are things to do for spring!
The snow has really melted. The winds have picked up. An oak leaf was crab-crawling down the driveway. It looked animated!
I was rinsing out cat litter buckets for reuse. The spigot is cracked. Why didn't I bring it in? I cannot reach the indoor shutoff valve. Sad thing.
I may have jinxed it, but the snowblower is in the shed, away for the season.
I don't know why, but we brought this back from Bala. It belonged to my parents. It has had its day. We'll have to take it apart and find space for the pots and stuff in the garage.
I have had a disaster with my fish tank. It is leaking in the one side's corner. The light stopped working in February: Percy's new aquarium light! It was a floor model and on sale, and it has served me well. All the lovely green I had (fake plants) have had the biscuit. Just fell apart. I've gone through 3 tank pumps.
I put on Gorilla Tape, I thought it was Flex Tape, but I was wrong. It kept leaking. We bought this one since it fit so nicely into the corner!
Can you see the skiff of ice on the goldfish pond?!
The next morning I checked on him and he looked quiet. I gave him some food, and left. When I came back the food was gone. Good sign!
I have time to do some research and figure out what to do. They don't make this shape any more. Most of them are a rectangle.
I had this tank in Bala, Muskoka, in 2007.
It fit so nicely into the corner. I found an interesting one, 150 lbs., thick walls (1/2"), and requires 'freight shipping' whatever that is (big $$$?). I shall pass on this one!
From British Columbia, here is Bernie, Jesse's Vancouver cat in his outdoor front porch cattery at their cottage. They call him Bernie Houdini!
