Day One


Here is where our pond project begins. The pond was put in by previous owners, the liner has been losing water from holes around the top, due to UV damage. The large blob that looks like leaves in the top photo is a couple of water lilies that have tripled in size. We had to use a shovel to split them apart and the potato rake to pull them out. We were moving right along and then the first shower came, no problem, we'll work through it. Then the downpour came, no problem, we'll take a break. The rain was short lived and we finished what we needed to today.

Robin knows I love action shots. She did not mind the frogs jumping around, but she did mind the snake we disturbed, three times.


Pumping the water down.



This was taken minutes ago. Of course the sun shines after you clean up, just makes you want to get dirty again! We will do some digging tomorrow morning and be ready for the new liner when it arrives.
