Hey all--

[1corona4u]

I posted this to someone in a thread, about what's more interesting than listening to her diatribe, so I didn't want to leave you all out. I did finally finish the patio, and redesigned the pond, put in a waterfall, made it smaller, and only for plants now...this is how I have been spending my time....something productive...and I have a great tan as well. :-)





Here is a better pic of the pond;



I call it the zucchini pond, LOL, because that the shape....It has a bog shelf,(to the left in the pic) and a rock ledge all the way around, and there is a lily in the pond, but it's only got a couple of pads, since it's a couple of weeks old...the waterfall is free form, I built it, just stacked rock, without a weir, because I wanted it to be more natural....I did have to put in an overflow drain though, because of the downpours we get...when we get them...it's been reallllly dry this year....as you can see, I'm also starting baby umbrella palms....on the bog shelf...

Of course, I'll never really be done with the patio....always something to change/improve...

5. I could kick back with a brew & a fatty in this back yard!

Very nice, Corona! I love the water feature!

Now, can you come to Colorado & do my back yard? It has potential, but right now it's a mess.
