That is a good idea. No its a sewer I built the pond in front of it to hide it. I have thought about buying some of those big fish planters and plant flowers in them and set them on those flat rocks that are in the pond.

 

[sissy]

that would be cute and gosh would that not look cute with a hose run up through it and water coming out the mouth sitting on that rock you have in the pond .You could still put a small plant in it at the back inside a small plant pot .That is really cute and nice flat bottom ,you may need to weigh it down with some gravel inside it .I love that rock in your pond and if i could afford to redo mine I would make a nice shallow end for something like that .

 

[smcox1]

I thought about doing the same thing. I also like these frogs.

I haven't been able to find the fish anywhere except my local nursery and it was like $150 but it was pretty big.

 

[sissy]

I like the frog also he has personality .Does the nursery ever clearance things out like that ,maybe you could wait .You have a big enough stone in your pond that you could put one of those bowl planters in there also .Would be nice if you could get a stone drilling bit and drill a hole in the rock and have a hose coming up through the rock spilling water out or even a bowl planter with water spilling over it .Gosh I have so many ideas for your rocks .I am still thinking and looking at my pond ,but would be a lot of work for one person and then on top of it moving the fish would be a nightmare .I may think of trying it in another area with the rubber roofing I got .Would love it near the pond but it is built with retaining wall block .I get a lot of water flowing down my hill with rain and on the other side of the woods there is a large cow pasture and all that flows to my yard now that they cut down part of the woods .Great for grass and flowers though .I always liked your pond even though shallow it has great rock appeal .lol.DARN

Thanks! I haven't ever seen those planters on sale but I only go to that nursery a couple times a year.

 

[sissy]

do you think if you ask them to notify you or see if they have a websight .Thats a good chunk of change ,it's pretty but geeze they make them so high priced .They would sell more if they were cheaper .

had to go out and do my taxes today and looked in lowes and home depot and they have something similar to that frog for 79 dollars .it is not big but not a bad size though .About the size of a large flower pot .Also stopped by the concrete decorative place on highway 58 on my way home and he had some large stuff like it made of concrete or clay and they were 35 dollars .Think i may save some money up to buy one

 

[smcox1]

You can get the frog at pier 1 for I think $40 and its probably about a foot square or so.

 

[sissy]

darn and there was a pier one in Danville on riveside drive .I guess I will have to call them just to see if by chance they have it .At the concrete place he only takes cash and after buying all the mulch ,I'm short until next month .Plus had to get gas for the lawnmower and at 3.69 a gallon ,i guess it was cheap though by what others tell me .

 

[smcox1]

$3.69 is pretty cheap we are at $3.85 for unleaded and $4.05 for premium and that's what my aviator takes and I think $4.50 for diesel.

 

[sissy]

diesel is more expensive here almost 6 dollars a gallon .They say it is going up and feel sorry for some people gas ,work,or food

 

[smcox1]

Dang $6 that's ridiculous it would cost $130 to fill up the f250 or f350
