It’s been 20+ years since my kids installed our little pond right outside the screened porch. No one thought to use a level, so it’s always been a bit wonky, but I love it and so do the goldfish, frogs, toads, and various plant life that have enjoyed it. We even had a brief visit from migrating ducks one year. And of course there have been fountains, for many years a stone turtle, but more lately a bronze frog.
Our bedroom is right above the pond, and the sound is just as wonderful as the sight. Every year we wait for the frogs to arrive.
But this year it had a leak. After almost-daily refills we knew we had to step up our game. Luckily the same model liner was still available and affordable and in stock. The girls had to strap it to the trunk to bring it home from Menard’s. Today they began the process of securing the aquatic life in a bucket, emptying the pond, replacing the old liner with a new one and leveling it. It was a joint effort, and I have high hopes!
Watch this space for updates!!!
