Brrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!

DD and I walked down to the ponds this morning to see if we could find any fish. I snapped a photo of the patio side of the house on our way down to the ponds...

This is the larger of the two ponds. We saw only one small fish and it didn't look like a koi. We've been told the pond was stocked with 1000 koi fish by our neighbor. I have yet to see anything that looks like a koi.
There are some very nice cattails at the pond however...
This is the smaller pond. There are lots of frogs in this pond. We can hear them jump in the pond as we walk around the edge, but they sure are hard to see!

We saw this wasp nest hanging by the back door. We have several of them near the front door also. I had never seen a tube-shaped nest before...
DH started a bonfire tonight to burn all the packing paper and boxes from our move. There was a lot to get rid of!
The pool is filled about half way now...
DD decided to go wading in the pool this afternoon. She said it felt pretty good. She swept some of the stones down to the deep end.
After dinner we loaded the car with DD's "stuff" so we can deliver it to her new college apartment tomorrow. Then DD decided it was time to go for a swim. She and I went in the pool and it was VERY COLD!! She made it all the way in first. It took me a while to work up the courage to get all the way in, but eventually I made it. Afterwards, I ran myself a nice hot bath to warm up!

DH has been working on getting the projector and screen up and working. Tonight we were able to watch some of the Olympics on the big screen. The screen is hidden up behind the valance when it's not in use.

The weather was just beautiful today and I opened all the downstairs windows, turned on the whole house fan, and let the breezes cool the house. It felt wonderful! The whole house fan really did a great job of drawing the heat up the stairs and out of the house, and it also drew the cooler breezes in from outdoors.
