What does your pond look like ... Today?

[RobAmy]

What a beautiful Sunday morning. The trees frogs and bullfrogs are making sounds. The birds are singing.

2 of our dogs are enjoying it also. Abbey is on my lap @ 44lbs as always. Rylee is laying on the patio table watching the squirrels as always.

Jake our 3rd dog is still sleeping in with the wife

Here is what the pond looks like this morning.

My honey calls me the wind up bunny...........wind me up let me go!
I enjoy it, love being outside, the yard has been my play ground, sand box, since we bought the house.
When i look at the original pictures of just grass, sort of shocks me too that I did all that.
He was working, I had to do something! I hate sitting in the house and even hate house work more!

I'm with you addy, I still hate house work lol! I just hope when I get everything the way I want it, it looks like a beautiful oasis like yours and robs. Absolutely gorgeous Rob, I love siting out by the the pond every morning, listening to to the birds and frogs..... It's like it takes you away from everything. THEN, I turn around and realize I have so much more to do But it's getting there, I just need more rocks

Addy the plants you gave me are going crazy! The lizards tail is blooming, forgetmenots are big and full but not blooming yet. I don't know if CE will see this, but, I have a Japanese varagated Iris that I split with her, and it's getting ready to bloom for the first time! It's exciting, because I don't know what color it is I'll be sure and get a good picture of it and post. Isn't it funny how excited we get at getting new starts of plants and we baby them, and finally it pays off

@addy1 and @RobAmy beautiful photos! Had to try the tag thingy TM brought out of hiding
My lilies addy gave me are sending up more and more pads now. I'm waiting for the first bloom. This is the first year I tried w/o any kind of soil so the verdict is still out on whether to continue doing it this way or go back to kitty litter

@Lisaebetten thanks for the tip about the ledge. I wish we would have done it right the first time......I may try and re-do it like that in the future but not any time soon.

My first wildflower opened today. I started this from a seed that I purchased in late winter. I wasn't completely sure what it would look like, but it looks great and is a great addition to my mini wildflower area by the pond!

My plants are starting to take off. I even have a few flowers on the forget me not plant.

A pair of barn swallows landed on our neighbor's shed and watched me goofing around our pond this morning. I hardly ever see them sit still long enough to get a picture.
