Worked on the pond this afternoon. The lily pads had taken over, it was full of algae, some of the stones had fallen in, etc. 'Before' picture attached.
Thinned out the lily pads, fished out the stone and re-edged, added a few floating water hyacinth, cleaned out a ton of algae, refilled the water (it was low due to evaporation), added a Canna Longwood 'Endeavor. ' It looks a lot better!
Picture of what was cleaned out, plus the current crop of lilies!

1/2 In the U.S. the zip code a patient resides in is an indicator/factor in their health & even life expectancy, with huge discrepancies found even a few miles or blocks apart! This should be 'front & center' in the devpt. of acute care '𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞' programs!
2/2 "𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆" essentially "𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝒊𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒛𝒊𝒑 𝒄𝒐𝒅𝒆!" If health services provided are not "wrapped" in additional services that recognize/address all appropriate factors, then H@H could perpetuate or even exacerbate disparities!
3/2 I find it 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 that this aspect is often missing from so many of the H@H articles, etc. that I see; and that even when mentioned it is 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 or is 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 (e.g. generic reference to "non health factors")!
