Pond complete

The pond is rebuilt. We picked up 700lbs of rock from The Stone Center and rebuilt the grass side (see below). Kevin dug the pond out another 4-6 inches and we used that dirt to fill the wall. I finished up the landscaping by transplanting some hostas and re-mulching. Four fish survived the rebuild by living in temporary housing - and now are exploring the new caves of their new home. I have not spotted them since they are home.

See also the shiny new grill. I am roasting a lamb on it today.

Dear Leisa

The pond looks great. I love the grill - can almost smell the lamb roasting. Will you plant the tall grass between you and Porter again?

Love

Mum

Yes - the tall grass is a perennial so it comes up each year. You can just make out the stubby dead grass cut back almost to ground level. In the fore-front of the pond there is new grass coming up as well.
