FINALLY Fixed The POND!

Last year, I struggled, as the pond kept leaking. I'd fix it and it would leak, again, draining. As you can see below, it would hold a few gallons at most:

Well, no more!!! moved all the rocks, and bought a new liner for the pond.

underneath, a new layer of about 2 inches (6 cm) of sand. Flatten and compress the sand. Fit the liner and start to fill with water.

As I filled the liner, I would remove and smooth out the liner wrinkles as best I could. Once it was full, plug in the pump, and get the waterfall flowing!

Form there, it was a matter of moving the rocks to cover the liner and hold it in place. I know, tomorrow, I will be moving some rocks and fine tuning, but each spring, this happens. Once it goes a day or two, I adjust again to make sure I like the flow and the falls! See the HEADER IMAGE, That's how it will be for a day or so, until I fine tune and tweak.

Along with Pond fixing, was setting up the bird fountain for the spring and summer!

Watering the pansies, helps, too!

Grovid 2021!!!

For those not following the past year or so, Grovid originally came from dreemsteem@dreemsteem.
She challenged us all, during the year's Pandemic news,
to talk less about Codiv19 and More about Grovid20!
To talk sustainability and gardening and growing for the future!

#SaveLiveEventsNow

2020... a wild and woolly year, if ever there was one. My entire industry (Special Events) was shut down on 13 March and hasn't been back yet. Personally, I am ok, but so many of my colleagues and friends are struggling with bills, paying for food and rent, medical and health insurance. I am hearing from clients, probably no work until about 4th quarter 2021.


Always, I strive to give back

To the animals and birds around me

to put more plants in than I take out

And be a good steward for the world around me!
