$#*&$% Tree Pollen!

[Julles]

I just redid the pond, right?  Water was nice and clear.

Well, the oak trees and all the other trees in Houston have been having a hey-day with their pollen, and the green powdery stuff is everywhere - on cars, on driveways, in our noses, and in the pond. 

My water has gone from crystal clear to having a slight gold tinge.  Nothing wrong with it, but it's sure not as pretty as it was a week ago.

Isn't that the way it works?  Ya clean up your yard just in time to have the neighbors trees drop everything in your yard   

I use to put netting over the pond in the fall to catch falling leaves, from neighbors trees.  Nothing worse than the leaves heavy enough to push the netting into the water like a tea bag.  Yuc!  Fortunately the trees, after 20 some yrs, have died    NO!! not because of me!!
