OK, I finally got a pond going. It looks kind of rough right now, but I've only had a day and a half to work on it. It was pretty sweet. Jennifer and I were out in the back Sunday morning, and I was trying to figure out a project for the weekend... We thought about building a pond again like we had in Houston. I told her that "I will build us a pond today"... I had seen earlier that one of our neighbors had an old molded pond in their yard unused so I went over and asked if they would give / sell it to me. It turned out that they were very nice and were willing to part with the pond pieces. A ton of digging and rearranging rocks later here we sit with the beginnings of a back yard oasis! The statue was given to us by my mom and dad. The whole thing wouldn't even look as ok as it does without it... Please consider this a "before" picture. The rabbit and the humming bird are the latest animals I have "rescued". The stories are too long to tell, but they deserve a spot on the blog I guess... Happy Memorial Day from Utah!! D
