Our Pond Progress

When we lived in North Carolina with the help of Jeff and Norma we put in a small formed pond. I collected rocks over the years and had planned to add a waterfall, however one thing or the other prevented it. Now I am thankful we did not get it done as we have moved to Georgia.

Moving sooner than we thought we would has really been hard on us. Knowing my dream for a large pond with a waterfall Jess and I decided to talk to a landscaper about putting a pond for us. We were expecting to have it started a week ago, but delays prevented it. The company had some delays and they just started yesterday...April 24, 2006.

You know where I am every minute I can spare...Yes, sitting right there on the deck under the umbrella so I am take pictures as they go along so we can keep up with the progress.

Just one more day and the pond will be up and running! I can hardly sit still!
I hope you enjoy the pics and maybe get a few ideas of your own.
