Tough Loss

The first thing I noticed this morning was the small pond was really low.  I found the filter in the waterfall box was plugged and water spilling over the sides.  After our walk, I took the filter out to clean and refilled the pond.  The big pond needed cleaning, so I decided to do it today.  Just as I was starting I noticed this little frog, it is about a half inch long, amazing how much noise they can make at night.  I got the PondVac out and started in cleaning, that stirred the debris up and it settled everywhere in the pond.  I finally put the PondVac pickup in the lowest spot and let it pump the pond down as I washed the debris to it with the hose and it worked great.  I cleaned all the filters, then refilled it, it has not looked that good since it was built.  I finished up with just enough time to get cleaned up for James' game tonight.
This is James about to take the snap from the center.
After James' buddy Aiden got hurt, James had to take over punting and kick offs, he also played in the backfield, making some good runs and played linebacker on defense.  James played great, but things just did not go their way and they lost.  After the game, we had a bite to eat and headed home, I watched the Seahawks and Wipe Out while Vera read, it was a nice relaxing finish to the day.
