On a different note, the Great Blue Heron has not

On a different note, the Great Blue Heron has not visited the pond since I covered the pond with a net.

Honestly, it really doesn't look to bad, and the fish are swimming around more then ever.

I believe they can sense the safety and are enjoying themselves to the max.

Tomorrow I have 25 ten wheelers headed to the property to drop a total of 500 yards of fill - to even out a depression in the front lawn and to smooth out some of the hills - and on Saturday and Sunday another 40 trucks (800 yards) of topsoil.

Then next week I have a guy coming to "hydroseed" - that is - shoot a grass seed mixture onto the topsoil in anticipation of growing an entire new lawn by our next huge party (September 28th).

I'm hoping the mixture is actually "green" in color, as that is the most logical and most appealing to the eye.

And no.....the party on the 28th is not Baltia's Inaugural Flight Party (LOL?), but rather a Mardi gras theme party for my wife's 8 year old daughter........stilt walkers, a professional photo-booth, a food truck like you see at carnivals, and this puppet/actor guy that we saw on the David Letterman Show.

My wife is getting EXTREMELY good at pulling these parties together.

I think we have had enough practice already, so COME ON BALTIA!

GIVE US ALL SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE!
