Pond 2.0

Close Frog

We are happy to announce the launch of Pond 2.0. Pond 1.0, if you recall was a smashing hit, albeit limited for some of the power users. It was mostly for the warm weather months and even early spring was a bit chilling. Pond 2.0 promises increased circulation, larger swimming area, and a place to spend a nice winter's hibernation for frog and fish alike.

This morning the fish were transferred from the temporary pond. They've been cruising the new pond rather than hiding in a dark corner which was their normal reaction when transferred to pond 1.0. Mostly I think they like the strong flow of water from the waterfall.

I was hanging out on the deck watching them swim when Faith came out for a look.

And of course when we checked there was a lonely little fish hiding in the corner of the old pond. Poor fella, he's lucky Faith has a good memory.

We've also moved over a few frogs (per schedule) so the pond now sports at least five happy croakers. Zeke came over and took a drink from the pond. It's just not as interesting as...well, you know.

Lazy days of fall

Sweet-looking pond, Jer.

Interestingly enough, I'm being paid by the provincial government to design and supervise the construction of a somewhat larger pond system -- maybe we should've had you guys build our rockwork!

No...more...rocks...

I need a project that involves bean bag chairs or down comforters or soaking in a hot tub.

Or going to a foreign land (like New Zealand or North Carolina) with your wife!
