In the small pond behind our house we have installed a new solar pond aerator, to keep the pond viable for the small fish we have in there. We had a tough time finding a site that sells the solar pond aerator we were looking for but we finally found the exact solar pond aerator we were looking for at Living Water Aeration, they have a wonderful web site filled with solar pond products, everything from pond aerators to water fall kits and everything in between.

Living Water Aeration has a top notch web site at http://www.livingwateraeration.com, check out this great web site if you are looking for products for your pond. To keep your pond in great shape look for the top notch products on the web site of Living Water Aeration.

We keep our pond in top notch shape because the grand kids use it a lot in the summer time it is a great swimming hole and a nice place to catch some small fish, just big enough to keep the small kids happy and above all busy during the nice days of summer. We depend on Living Water Aerators to provide us with the top notch supplies we need to keep our small pond in great shape for the fish and for the grand kids too.

The school that my wife works at is doing a fun and very exciting thing this fall. They are raising some money for the school by having a green fund raiser. I had never heard of a eco friendly fund raiser before until this year but I have thrown my support behind this great fund raiser and will do my best to help it succeed. Go Green Fund Raising has some very nice ideas for fund raising ideas and what I like the best is that every event that they put on as a fund raiser for kids helps save the planet at the same time and we need all the help that we can get on that front.

My wife spends a lot of time after school and even before school helping the kids with their fund raising projects and I can tell that she is really excited about this great project. Go Green Fund Raising has a free fund raising kit for the kids and I know that they can use all the help they can get to get these fund raisers going and make all the money that they need to keep their projects funded.

This year the kids have decided to use the money that they raise with their green fund raisers to help support the animal shelter in our town and that is a great project as far as I am concerned. Being an animal lover is tough in these hard economic times and I appreciate the kids helping out on this project.

The attack of the killer squirrel occurred last Sunday while we were sleeping. As we slept the dogs who do sleep with us began to get excited and run around the room, about that time something jumped across our bed followed by all five dogs, my wife yelled that it was a mouse and she sat up in the bed. About this time I was just awake enough to see our dog Buster jumping and twitching in the corner, not knowing what was going on and all that ran through my mind was that Buster was having another seizure and I jumped up and grabbed Buster, and that allowed the squirrel to escape the corner he was trapped in and jump onto my wife’s bathrobe, that was hanging on the back of the door, to get away from the dogs. At this point my wife told me that a mouse was running around in the room and I looked at the bathrobe, a head the size of a small dog looked out at me and I said at that point that it was a rat and I needed tools. I started looking for some tools to render the critter harmless and what I found was a six foot walking stick that we had purchased at a Pow Wow a couple of years ago, we had never had a need of it until now. So with the stick I whacked the bathrobe and the squirrel jumped out back into the dogs and chaos ensured. At that point I decided we needed to corral the dogs and get the critter back outside where he belonged. After the dogs were penned up in the bathroom and that took 3 of us and 20 minutes. I then threw the bathrobe over the squirrel and picked him up and started for the door. Now the squirrel comes to life and jumped from the bathrobe and ran to the fireplace and escaped, It was a pretty action packed 7-8 minutes and something we will never forget, The day the squirrel went berserk in the bathrobe.

The fall season in Nashville is the very best time of year to be here. The nights are cool the days warm and sunny for the most part and very little rain. The leaves turning on the hills make for a very nice drive out in the country. I really like to take a ride on the Harley and look at the wildlife and the turning leaves. At night a light jacket is needed some night but most of the time just a long sleeved shirt and you are fine. Now when winter gets here that is a different story all together.

As Hurricane Gustav rains its self out in the mid west three more storms are lining up to hit the United States. Hannah, Ike, and Josephine are all gaining strength and Ike is already a category 4 storm. I am sure glad the Gustav did not do as much damage as the weather service thought that it would. We have had a pretty quiet storm season this year and to get all these storms at one time is very strange. We here in middle Tennessee do not get a lot of damage from any of the hurricanes but a little rain sure would be welcome. It has sure been dry all of August and the start of September.
