I would really love a pond like that but don't think my shovel would last or I would last digging it .

Yes sissy they have a little tractor shovel thingy and by hand it would take forever and ever Amen

Sissy my dog probably was confused. The funny part is when I was building it, it rained and had all that muddy water in the pit he would play in the muddy water, but when I got it finished he wouldn't touch the creek or pond. Go figure...must have been to clean for him.

 

[sissy]

oh geeze to clean thats a good one I'm surprised he would not like to cool off on a hot summer night and if you have frogs chase them around .Must have been fun for you one muddy dog .I like the look of your stream peaceful maybe you should hire out for weddings would be pretty place to take wedding pics

I was looking at one of those cameras you put by your pond and hook to your puter so you can see whats going on or in your pond from the monitor .There are so many kinds wondering if any one has had one or has one they like and that works

Stunning pond....you did a beautiful job, a very peaceful oasis and to be able to sit so close the house and patio what a bonus

Thanks,

Here are some more pics I just took this morning. My lilac bushes started blooming last week and smell oh sooooo good, can't wait for all my perennials to start. In the last pic is my cypress tree that is starting to come out, I have had this tree for 5 years. I have a tree that looks similar called a dawn redwood but is much much bigger, grows about 2-3' per year. The third pic is of my dog watching the koi, they amaze her, she just wants to play with them sooooo badly. You can also see some of my driftwood that I have collected over the years. Will post some more in the coming weeks.

I'm telling you your going to come out one morning and find her soaking wet swimming with the fish:fish::lol: lol.The way she is leaning over there I'm amazed she has not fallen in yet

Yeah I am waiting to see her fall in as well. She is quite the brave dog. The tree is in a 5 gal pot in the pond. Pulled it out a few years ago and repotted it, trimmed the roots and put new dirt in the pot. I will pull it out every few years and keep trimming the roots to keep it small. It has only grown about 18" in five years or so. Kind of like a bonsai I guess.

I'm amazed it grows in water like that ,do you put salt in your pond .I would think it would become water logged .amazing to me ,you must have 10 green fingers
