It was just starting to sprinkle when I went out to feed the goldfish tonight –
you can see them skimming the food off the surface if you click the photo below.
Its also the start of the azaleas blooming – for a brief 2 week period we get the most amazing show of colours. The picture on the left below shows the current temp arrangement of the pond with the new waterfall filter box in place (but not yet covered with slate/rocks) and the water-tubing laying on the surface – no reason to bury the plumbing until everything is in place and finalized. The phot on the right was shot from an upstairs window (note the screen) looking out over the backyard April 25, 2001 – our first spring in the house. Note all the overgrown corners. Also note the pond isn’t there yet – I hadn’t discovered it yet – its still buried!
