Title: Cold Sunday
Post by: wsantia1 on October 18, 2020, 05:58:34 AM
Good Morning everyone. It is a cold 38 degrees here but the high temp is forecast to get up to 65F this afternoon under a bright sunny sky. We will be in the 70s most of the rest of the week.

I will be working in the fishroom again today. I am finally making headway on tank maintenance that is not related to water changes including algae removal and tank polishing. If I do a few tanks everyday I will have great looking tanks.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning Willie, I missed here yesterday.  Was on an all day trip to visit my daughter and her new husband.  I had a wonderful day, we ate lunch in a park, visited the UNC botanical gardens and got some plants at Lowe's there.  This is all in Chapel Hill.  On the way home I stopped to see an old friend for awhile, she and her husband are both ailing, they have a huge tobacco farm in Goldsboro NC.  Their sons run it all now.  But a very interesting place to visit.  I drove about 300 mi., light traffic most of my trip.

Once I started thinking about it I remembered you saying that you were going to visit Diane.  Glad you made some fun side trips and had a good time.  What plants did you buy?  Is Dianne into gardening, too?

...85 now and going to 93 today with 13% RH...sunny skies here in AZ...

...just did a water change on the Congo tank...it sure looks devoid of plants since the last swap meet...! huh  They're starting to grow back in though...

...we're going to Goodwill and the Halloween store to look for costumes for a Murder Mystery Dinner this week at the clubhouse...I'm going to be P. U. Barnum, owner of the 3-ring circus....we won't know who the killer is until right before it starts, so we have to learn answers to questions beforehand that can fit either the killer or non-killer...I'll do quite a bit of ad-libbing because I don't do well trying to memorize lines!... :(

Sounds like fun Ron!  Take a few pics to show us?
Liz, yes she is a gardener too, indoors only now, they rent a condo.
I bought a dwarf Cryptomeria bush, usually a huge tree. gorgeous foliage.Bush gets  4'x4', the tree gets 40'tall, huge trunk. I used to have 2 at old house.  Look it up and see how you like it.  Putting it near my pond so I can see it a  lot.
Barb.
