Myra,

This is when you really begin to enjoy your pond. :-)
I love to just enjoy mine, and I spend little time on doing stuff
for it.  We got several inches of rain from Dennis.    It rained
every day for a while, and some days we got 5 and 6 inches
of rain.  The creeks and streams were above or near flood
stage.   I just hope Floyd misses us or gives us a chance to
recover somewhat from the rains of Dennis.   And I know the
people in northern NC got it worse than we did.
You went to Plant Delights today???   So did I!!
My oldest child and I went!   We got up there about lunch time
though, probably after you had left.    Bummer!
One of these days, we'll have to do better and meet!
I spent less than $100 this time so I felt good about it. :-)
I got some plants that should look great around my pond if I
can just get them in the ground!  I work 8 hours
tomorrow then 13 hours Monday and Tuesday.    Maybe if
I don't have to spend all day inside, I can get them planted
on Wednesday.  :-)
Glad things seem to be going well for your daughter.  :-)
For all those in the area, Plant Delights is open Sunday,
Sept 11, then again next Fri, Sat, and Sun.  They have
wonderful display gardens and great plants, several of which
are difficult to find anywhere else.
