| We Started Digging The Hole 8-5-02 |
| We added a fountain, some water hyacinths and some parrots feather taken from the river on 8-21-02 |
| Looking better, need to dig a deeper hole and add more border 8-14-02 |
| This grass has been here for 20 years 8-12-02 |
| Oh my aching back, I have blisters too, Where's the Advil? 8-13-02 |
 |
| Finished the weed cloth, added some rocks to the edge of the porch. Haven't decided about the edging on the lip of the pond. Now I need some bark and some plants. Home Depot here we go....8-23-02 |

| View standing on the porch looking towards the Jacuzzi. Changed the fountain head as it was throwing too much water out of the pond. 8-25-02 |
| View standing on the grass across from the edge of the porch. It needs more plants as soon as we figure out what kind and where to place them. 8-25-02 |
| This page is a pictoral journal of our pond from start to finish in 3 weeks. |
| We put a lot of effort and sweat into building this little pond, but it was worth every hour we spent digging and every blister (hehe). We love sitting on the porch listening to the sound of trickling water. We added some solar lighting for night time enjoyment. Thank you for visiting and please sign our guest book (links below) |

| Update 10-27-02 We've added some Zephyr Lily's, Sea Pinks, and a Peter Pan Agapantha outside the pond. The Wanering Jew is growing rampant along the side of the house. |
| 10-27-02 This is the view sitting on the porch. You can see the sea pink blossoms, and the agapantha in the lower edge of the photo. There is a little bear watching over the pond. The lily's have been sunk to the bottom of the pond for winter. |
