Sheila -- That pond/waterfall is beautiful! I am definitely going to have to work one into the plan somewhere sometime soon. And three feet IS deep! That takes some commitment. How well do ponds fair in this type of weather and what do you have to do to safeguard your investment?

The sun came out a while today and the flight cage warmed to a toasty 80 degrees. Butterflies, which have been roosting all week finally had the opportunity to fly around and feed. Had a surprise with a Pipevine Swallowtail flitting around -- didn't realize I even had any pupae of those in there. Most likely "hitchhiked" in on some of the potted plants.
