The trench for 110v line to garden shed. The "water feature", pulled from Tom Robin's (Alexa's actually at that time) free pile. I bought a new little pump for it. Figure it will be good for some limited sound.

It's in the back yard with no camera. So far a pair of dragonflies have been buzzing and the mob of young house sparrows visit it. I have bt soaks in it for the mosquitos. Running a line to install a fountain as I am told the sound will attract frogs from nearby backyard ponds.

Yup, and they have a distinctive aroma unlike any other flower that I know. Seems to draw the bees.

I've got a rock in my pocket. I found it in my garden. I consider it my guardian stone.

Wildlife pond in progress. Filled with water 2 days ago and today a water beetle is cruising the bottom. Here we go!

Rebecca's tamarisk across the street from me. A very old tree well maintained and lovely year around, but especially when in spring bloom.

Also, I lost track of you and had to jump through flaming hoops to reconnect. So glad to be here. Inspired by your pond, my liner for mine arrived today. 10'x13', the pond will be smaller, located where the runoff from a small garden shed will drain into it, shaded from the afternoon sun.

True. Because of our lifestyle choices we had wringer washers, great for diapers, and lines for hanging them out to dry in the sun. Still doing it after all of these years. Easy to repair, swap parts. Water can be used to water the garden.
