I planted most things in it late last year and early this and there´s also nutrition put into the soil. So there is absolutly to much algia in the pond. I´ll lift the hose that the water comes in from the filter, so it will fall into the pond like a small water fall.<br /><br />I think many people actually thinks that all other religioins are paganism, what ever religion they may have themselves. I like tha way most "pagans" care for nature for instance, something christians tends to forget. I think we all can learn from each other.<br />I hope th BBQ turned out great!<br />Christer.The cottage by the Cranelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521318192039394408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948212455535029702.post-45453932022359334582010-06-28T03:27:36.201+02:002010-06-28T03:27:36.201+02:00Christer, no need to try and "fix" the s...Christer, no need to try and "fix" the sky as it looked just beautiful in the posted photos. Cloudy and overcast days always show more beauty it seems than ones with just clear blue skies. Enjoyed the morning walk and photos. Imagine people NOT liking banannas.

To fix the sky...WOW... so many questions to answer. To fix the sky you first need a 'Sky Hook' so you can hold it still. after that i'm not sure ;-]<br />Pond algae is needed if you have fish. THey eat it. Most likely you had too much algae (more than they can eat) and the algae used up all the oxygen and they sufficated (yes they can). Try an aerating pump. Make it look like you have a fountain, and gets oxygen back in the water. Also it will clear up some of the algae. If you know someone with a 'disolved O2 meter' (not your normal household item i admit) have them check the O2 level before you put in any fish. <br />I like your thought that everyone is a paegan if you don't believe as they do. I like some of the natural Druid ways of my ancesters, but consider myself a 'non-denominational Christian'. I have a problem with organized religions that pay more attention to the material stuff than the spiritual stuff. <br />OK, off to BBQ a chicken!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948212455535029702.post-79678518711257104502010-06-27T18:42:27.860+02:002010-06-27T18:42:27.860+02:00Hi nydia!

Many of us has problems sleeping because of it forinstance. <br /><br />I think anyone could benefit by doing a dreambord. Doesn´t matter what faith we have. We just show it to our god.<br /><br />Aren´t we all påagans in the eyes of people with other religions :-) May I ask what beliefs You have? I´m christian, but I never look down on people with other believes. I think we all can learn from each other and I think we must do so if we are going to survive on this little planet of ours!<br /><br />Thanks for the info!<br />Christer.The cottage by the Cranelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521318192039394408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948212455535029702.post-71501619319465381952010-06-27T18:29:24.200+02:002010-06-27T18:29:24.200+02:00Hi again, Christen!
Thanks for your sweet words o...Hi again, Christen!<br /><br />Thanks for your sweet words on my son's dreamboard. It's the following: every Full Moon (for us pagans, a very special and powerful Moon) we create, with collage, drawing, poem, or any other form of expression, a representation of what we wish for the upcoming month, our desires, our dreams, and we "show" it to the Universe. It's a way of focusing our intentions and learning to visualize them for a better achievement, let's say.<br />It's ben a long time since we last participated this, and this month, Lucas decided to join it again, which was delightful to me. I leave him free to choose what he wants without influencing him.<br />If you're still curious about it, there's a link to click on the word "Full Moon Dreamboard" that leads you to the main page.<br /><br />Kisses!Nydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850948495881140098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948212455535029702.post-43294246821302198692010-06-27T18:11:51.358+02:002010-06-27T18:11:51.358+02:00Hi Joyce!
