I hear ya sista! I don't even have oat trees but my neighbor's oak trees always found our pond. With the wind blowing at 40 mph, all the flower petals are now in my pond as well. Thank goodness I cleaned the pond yesterday and turned on the waterfall so the skimmer can do its job.
I also put 5 lbs of activated charcoal (in a laundry mesh bag) in the skimmer to clear the tea color from the oak leaves.
Good luck to your pond skimming. It sure is hard work.
