Our Pond

The AFTER PICTURE:  we built a pond this summer.

The BEFORE PICTURE: removing a swing set left us a perfect location/foundation.

Digging a hole in rock-like clay with roots - super fun ;/

The cheap labor!

Finding rocks from the surrounding woods.

Look!  It already holds water even before the liner!

No dinner for you, Jack, until you dig out the pond.

July 4th was the day we layed down the liner and filled it with rocks.

And more rocks, and more rocks, and  more rocks...

Putting in the pump/filter and fill with water.

Needing even more rocks from a neighbors farm.



The "hired help" gets serious about laying stone.

A lot of cooks in this kichen.

Teamwork!

The crew running the electrical line.





Where I have my morning coffee...

One of our turtles on the rock.

Adding plants from around the yard.
