Thanks Everyone! It's always nice to have friends here give me a boost!
Family, friends and I
are enjoying the new pond and spend an enormous amount time putsing around it.
You've really done a lot of work and deserve a chair and a glass of wine to enjoy it.
Jonna, been there done that, many times! One of the ideas for covering the sides of the pond was to line all the wine bottles we've had all summer along the wall!
Yeah, unfortunately we can do the wall justice with just bottles!
All the elephant ears are from trades and Kat's lily purchases. They have so many runners now too.
Lorraine, my DH thinks I have gone to pond heaven with all the attention I give to all aspects of ponding.
Savannah and Kamala, I would keep the tiles but I already have stacked stone waiting for me to put them up.
Besides I don't have enough leftover tile to do a complete job of the front side in slate, let alone the sides. Probably would be easier but what would I do with all the free time I have to find to lay rocks?!
