Progress


Well, I've made progress today. We decided that we didn't like the plastic waterfall that came with the pond so Jacob bought some quickcrete and used the plastic thing as a mold. Now we have a very nice concrete waterfall. I still have a lot of work to do to it. The waterfall will be surrounded by rocks, I have a birdhouse that my dad made that I'm going to hang on the tree, also have a birdfeeder that needs put up, and just a whole lot of other little things that I want to do. I got my plants planted that my Mother-in-law got for me. It's hard to see them in the picture. I stole the bench from my mom. ;) This project has been 10 times more work than I expected and cost about 3 times more than I expected but it sure is pretty. The sound is just lovely. I could listen to it all day.

This Day in history:
1933 Lock Ness Monster sighted
1918 GM buys Chevy, I had no idea they had been bought out that long ago!
1972 Jaws production first begins.

Thanks Debbie! I think it's going to all be well worth it.

ohh more rocks I can't wait. I tried to get Jacob to bring me up this afternoon so she didn't have to pick them all up for me. Yes, I'm glad I didn't have to buy rocks. I could have never brought myself to pay money for rocks! Connor did catch a huge bullfrog the other day but it got away. You're welcome to fish but you won't catch anything yet. How long did it take your goldfish to get big like they are now?
