Pond Re-Build

Yesterday, albeit 40 degrees, Kevin and I replaced the pond liner. After last year's total overhaul we must have had a hole in the liner as it would lose water very quickly.

We took out the fish - 12 survived the winter - and put them in temporary housing (see tin bucket in forefront). We also found 3 frogs - still sluggish so perhaps not actually awake from their winter nap!

Pumped out the water, removed all the rocks. Put in a new liner and and replaced all the rocks, re-filled and put the fish back in. It is a much easier job with 2 sharing the work! We were able to get the whole project done in a few hours.

Tada!

In Memory of Shiva....a good dog

The three red car family....

My new car.....on the right.....a 2010 VW Jetta.

Next to me is Joel - 1991 BMW 318 and behind him Kevin - a 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser. The Charger is still in the garage until I turn it in next week.

My new car! 5 cylinder, 6 speed, leather seats with warmers.

Plenty of room in the trunk for Eli's folded chair. Plenty of room for Eli! In fact Todd bought a Jetta 12 months ago so it has been 'Eli tested'.

The offical color is 'Salsa Red". It has a black leather interior with seat warmers. When I drove off the VW lot it had 9 miles on it.

I put the Aussie flag on the back the day I brought her home.
