I'm all about making the pond beautiful now. Even when not looking its best, it's my favorite part of the gardens. I just love sitting by it, feeding and watching the fish. It's my most relaxing spot anywhere.
All the fish are looking healthy. I saw two baby koi today. That's always so exciting to find koi that were born here.
The water is just starting to clear up. The whole place has been a mess since being neglected so long while the snake owned it (That's some sentence, ain't it?). I'm taking back my pond!

I worked today cleaning up the umbrella plants and pulling bermuda grass up and out of the back of the pond. (I can't tell you how much I hate bermuda grass. It's the bane of my gardening existence. Every year, it and Japanese Beetles make me question having gardens.)

Your pond is really nice. Mine needs a serious cleanup now, but it's been so cold still. How do you clean out the bottom? We have raccoons and they have knocked so many plants in there is quite a bit of dirt in there.
The rose 'Ellen' really is pretty!
I don't have a pond, so I enjoyed yours, thanks! The chickens are cute!
Hi Karen- your pond is very pretty. I love the chickens in a pot! Mine will be here on June 3rd and I can't wait!
Good morning Karen ~ Your pond is lovely and peaceful looking. I'm so glad the snake is no longer there. Your koi are such a treat to see, as are your chickens. Your roses are always beautiful and a joy to view.
Have a great day ~ FlowerLady
You are so right there is nothing like a pond and water to calm a person. Yours is so nice. My little one needs a redo now. Your roses are so gorgeous. I bet your chickens get a lot of your bugs from the flowers.
Love your garden ornaments---I mean chickens.
