Spring will Come Soon


This is a photo of the small pond that we built a number of years ago. This spring we hope to add on to it, but we've been having some difficulty deciding exactly how/where to dig. Part of the problem is that there are perennial plants all around , especially on the south side where expansion is most likely. But we'd really like to have more space for marginal and bog plants. So, to help us think without distractions, here is what it originally looked like.

The gargoyle is one of my favorite garden decorations. He watches over the pond, and I think he may make the fish a little bit nervous. Some of the neighbors have garden statues of little bunnies and squirrels, and I suspect that the gargoyle may strike them as strange. Different strokes....
