Comment of the Day...

Mom says: "Well, I want to run around without any clothes on. What does that mean?"

Me: "It's hot out?"

Classic Gramma Jean move right there. Soon Mom will be flashing us as we drive away from the cabin! :) (Love you Mom...)

Pond Step 9

Seems I missed Step 9, so thought you might enjoy this filler...
This cute little fellow has been visiting the pond, how great is that!
And he didn't seem to mind that we hadn't finished it yet!

Pond Step 10 - Finale

Last step - plants and rocks!
Well still have to do water pump and power...

Pond Step 8

And...(drum roll)...we have a pond!
Will update when some rocks etc are added.

Pond Step 7

Place liner in about a dozen times until things are right, then add water!

Pond Step 6

We're hoping this is what it should look like!

Pond Step 5


Then start forming the shelves and depths...

Pond Step 4

Remove lots of sand and forget that you wanted shelves and a slope for the birds!

Pond Step 3

Remove sod and chop roots as you dig...

House in Progress...

And so the persistent little devils have chosen their home site,
the man has decided to let them build there.
Not sure how the clean up will go
as the man had to stand on his tiptoes on his biggest ladder
to reach the top piece of siding!

A Happy Birthday

Birthday was good. Work was about normal, got the Mama Mia from Verns, and some pretty wicked workboots. All in all, a pretty good day.

Unexpected Guests

I had two interesting visitors on my front lawn Sunday morning: a pair of Hungarian Partridge! Couldn't get the camera out in time though... Who'da thunk it?
