The pond was so unhealthy this spring, full of rotten crap at the bottom, sick fishies and a not so pleasant smell. Well after a cleaning and numerous treatments like below.... ...it's looking healthy again and the fish are as happy (and fungus free) as can be! Colors in the yard. Critters. Good camouflage. The hostas at the front are huge this year. The leaves look prehistoric and make great hand fans. I'm getting the roof done this year, the front doesn't look too bad but there are hundreds of shingles missing on the back and sides. It will be brown to match my garage roof. I'm debating painting the metal veranda roof chocolate brown - not sure about that yet. I'll post pics when the roof work gets underway in a few weeks. A little porch display. Flowers.
