Blog glitch

About a week ago my blog started not letting me comment on comments. I'm not sure I'm even getting comments anymore. I had an expert check all my settings, etc. and it seems to be a problem that google is having. So until they fix it, I want you to know that I enjoy and appreciate all your comments and would respond if I could.


Yesterday my son and I went to the oasis to service feeders and water. I also got him to do a small project for me, which I really appreciated. I'd like to get all the horsetails out of the back pond, but that would be a huge project that would kill the hackberry tree that sprouted in the pond, so  he cleaned the horsetails out for now. It's possible that by letting the pond go dry for about six months this winter the horsetails will die.

Not only do they not fit into the native look I prefer, but they get dry and die back a lot, not to mention blocking views of birds for birders.

(The first photo was taken in the early morning and the last one in the afternoon so lighting is different.)
