Getting dirty and the pay off Wednesday is here! Yay!

Not much really to report after my long one yesterday.

Last night saw me helping JC with the fountain/fish pond that his landlords had put in the back yard. The way they had it set up originally was kinda crappy looking and really getting on my nerves. There was no thought or anything to it, nor was it put together very well. So, I thought that since he was having a birthday party at the end of the month and we would be outside most of the time, it would nice to spruce the pond up some. I mean, if he is taking the time to work on the deck and house to get it all looking nice for the guests, why not do a little with the yard too. So, Monday night we trekked out to Lowe’s to pick up a pump, filter and tubing to make it nice. Tuesday night: time to get dirty! Got started around 530, break for dinner and to pick up a shovel, finished about 9pm.

I have this thing with my projects that I must do them to my full satisfaction. I wasn’t going to just have a portion of the pond sitting out fully exposed. I had to sink it a little (mainly because there wasn’t enough stone to fully cover the sides) and get it evened out so the waterfall worked decently. JC laughed at me because I was being so serious about it and a little frustrated when the waterfall didn’t come out just right. But, I can’t help it. I was in my natural element with this project, and, honestly, was enjoying getting dirty. True, the pond could have been cleaned out a little bit from the algae, but, I think it will be okay. The filter is set up, the fountain works perfect for the recycle flow, and the waterfall looks decent. And I managed to set the stone up around the base so it looks decent. Judge for yourself. Now I am just ready to have a place where I can have my own little fish pond/water feature. Hello, I am Pisces and love to have water near me!











So give me a dry hump and go on your way…the weekend is almost here!
