Kaelyns Baptism

3 leaves out of water on pickerel. Lily - 4th leaf ready to break surface - pot still on shelf in NE corner. Hornets and wasps are coming for a drink and soil for nests. Water still cloudy. Cottonweeds are letting go of cotton. Plum tree dropping its petals into pond. Removed submersible heater from filter. Air temp 85degF. Water temp 68degF - highest yet. Added one more tab of lily fertilizer. Bit the bullet and put lily to the bottom.

{Note(7-29-05): in looking back, it would be better to put lily and lotus down before leaves uncurl so that they will continue to grow up before uncurling.}
