This is the waterfall as it is today. After almost three years it was time to have more waterflow and what a difference it made!

Below are pictures of the original construction.

Behind Glenn (left) you can see the 'Inspector' on her duty checking things out. Annie

was always in the middle of each project.

Well, it was bound to happen. RAIN. In order to prevent the excavated dirt from washing

back in, it was covered with plastic.

'That's a good brother.....you dig and I'll smile for the camera'!

A well deseved break....grub time!

And.....after the liner was put in, rocks lined the edges....then the water.

Several adjustments have been made over the years. It has been a challenge with the pond

being in the direct sunlight, loss of our Koi, algae, and other problems. We had tought of

removing the pond and just having a disappearing waterfall and river. After looking at

the pictures above, and remembering the hard work and fun we had together....I just

could not take it out.

Here are some pictures of how the pond looks today. Still a work in progress!
