End of Gardening Season Treats

I was working around the pond the other day cutting back and using J.'s heavy and loud whipper sniper, and needing a break [did I mention it weighs a ton ] I sat down and watched the pond. Embarrassing to have been working there for an hour and not noticed. On this dun colored day the pond was alive with patterns of pine needles and lily pads. The color of the water was deep dark. And that was the end of the whipper sniping for the day.
