It's been a tough year for us Mom passes away, out of work for a year again have been hustling like mad to keep the roof over our head. But the pond is close to finished now just the pump area needs attention. We lost a lot of young Koi over the winter.
Thought I would post a few pictures of the pond

Nohandles sorry for your loss. My father passed in 1987 and I still think of him a lot. I have been through the absolute bottom of the what happened to the economy being in the housing industry. At one point i never had more than $2 in my wallet.Things have turned around but it took a lot of hard work and being at the right place at the right time. It's important to be strong and thing smart and fight your way back. Don't be afraid of taking a position for less than what you are worth. if you are really good at what you do people will recognize your talents and it will lead to further opportunities. Good luck!

Your pond design is really neat! I wish i would have thought to do something like that for my pond. Do you have fish in the top part as well? Your water looks a lot like mine right now

Very pretty pond. The loss of your parents is never an easy thing, so sorry for your loss.

Sorry things have been so tough, it's hard when one problem comes along, but having to cope with bereavement and unemployment at the same time must be really challenging.

What's the plant at the bottom of your third photo? It looks to have blue/grey flowers?
