POND UPDATE

The pond is coming along just fine and, sorry to say, no Jimmy Hoffa. It would have been easier and less expensive for the FBI to install my pond instead of having to tear down a horse barn only to rebuild it later. I suspect the FBI has helped boost Michigan’s economy, at least in Milford anyway, and I too have helped by purchasing my pond liner from Firestone Tire, a major auto supplier.


In today’s photo, I’ve included a two-tiered shelving system for plants. My wife, a master gardener, provided the specs as far as the water’s depth for various aquatic plants. We plan on having a two-tiered waterfall and a bridge also. She’s already sweet-talking our neighbor into designing and building the bridge. All I need to do is supply the wood and hardware.

In my next pond update (probably sometime next week), I should have approximately 4,000 gallons of water in it. And fish. And frogs. And toads. And snails. And plants of course.

Tomorrow’s post will be more exciting. I promise. Why? Because I will be discussing politics while wearing a Speedo. Tell all your friends to click on my blog and leave a comment if they’d like. I’m sure, with my strict exercise program, that most comments will be favorable.
