First Pictures of 2010!
« on: April 19, 2010, 02:05:16 PM »
You may remember that I did a pond expansion last fall.  Here are some pictures of how the pond is doing so far this year.  The stores say that they'll have pond plants in a week or so; right now, only "Big Spikey" and some lilies are in the pond.

Your water is very clear.  I love the way you can see the pond easily right from the deck.

Thanks for all the kind words!  It's really a labor of love, isn't it?!  The fish are so much happier in their new surroundings, and the yard is so much more enjoyable.  Joanne and I never dreamed of this a couple of years ago when Blade asked us, "Would you like a water feature between your deck and the other yard?"  I think the key has been to have great builders:  Blade and Michelle Mullinex, of Hooked on Fish, from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for the pond and yard landscaping; and Jaime Pacheco, of Kenosha, Wisconsin, for the patio and landscaping from the pond to the alley!  They, and Joanne, let me do most of the designing of the stuff, and then did a great job putting it all together.  Here are a few more pictures from the other day, mainly of some of the fish.

Bob, was going to email you but have not found the time.  Jerry keeps bugging me cause he wants to come and see the new redo.  WOW is all I can say....looks superb @O@ O0, I can always bring you some plants and or lilies, just name what you want, I may have it and plenty to share.  See the fish are looking good, we lost three this winter, one was one of our big ones :(.  Was also going to talk to you about a uv cause I know you used one.   We have yet to do our cleanout or start the filters, hopefully this coming weekend.  Enough here I will have to get out an email.
