What a beautiful day. Removed the pond breather and started up the larger aerator. Already there is less algae. @Tula , you better start to remove that winter cover! ;)

Ha ha, did it today :) So good to see my babies. Haven't removed the Pond Breather yet, still running it and my small aerator and one small pump. Hoping to get the S & G filter up and running this week, then will pull the Pond Breather.

Here is a picture of the pond yesterday. The iris are starting to grow so I will need to raise the net soon. I thought about cutting the net to let them grow through, but noticed the fish love swimming around the plants and I am afraid that sneaky heron will get them.

Phlox blooming. I should have taken the picture yesterday - it rained all day today and the flowers are pretty beaten down now. :(

It's beautiful! I've been trying to get phlox to grow in my rock wall around my waterfall. But my LITTLE FRIEND AND HELPER Mr. Chipmunk has other ideas. We are going to have it out one of these days!

Snow in summer is pretty and it will bloom all summer also but I guess it only comes in white

Rained again yesterday so I was enjoying my pond from inside. I noticed my phlox moved and thought it was Lisa's friend the chipmunk and I thought she had jinxed me. After looking a little closer it was the resident frog. Can you see him? I took this from the house. As I said before, it was raining and I didn't want to get wet. ;)
