The lotus plant is fine, just the flower got washed off. Next year I hope to have more bloom!

Just look at all my guppies I have to save before winter!!! Got a fish tank heater in there now, but will be difficult to find them all as some are just so tiny! All of these guppies came from a little 5 gallon tank I have in the house, put half of them out this spring, and now they breed out of control!

I have a lot of these spider webs everywhere, never have seen so many. They are in trees, on the ground, everywhere.

They are funnel web spiders, says they come out at night. The ones in Australia are very dangerous, their bite is deadly to humans

I think that is actually creeping jenny. I have it too and love it! It is very VERY hardy, maybe too hardy! :) I am also trying out a greenhouse type style on my pond this year. I'd be interest in your progress! How you going to fit all those guppies back into a 5g!? ;)
