The Pond

Jeff has been out of town this week for work in Moab. I wanted to surprise him with something that would beautify our yard that he didn't have to do himself. Our backyard used to have a VERY large tree that provided awesome shade in the summer. The tree was actually on the other side of our fence where the canal is. The canal is cool, we get to watch all sorts of birds, feed the ducks and see little baby ducklings every spring.

Without any notice, the Canal Company chopped down the VERY large tree that provided our yard with beauty, birds, privacy and shade among other things. Needless to say, our backyard was looking very blah and hate to say it, UGLY!

I had my good friend from Jr. High, Shaun come over and help me plan for a POND!! We went to the rock place, got some granite pieces and he worked on it all afternoon. Here is our progress so far.
