Addy I'm not very good at drawing things out. I wish I could draw things out. I can see them very clearly in my mind though. LOL I think my husband gets frustrated because he can't see my thoughts!

CE -here are a few pics of my pond this morning. Not really any new progress. I love taking the pictures and sharing them with everyone. Very proud of what we've done so far.
:razz: Many thanks to all that have given us input.
Picasa photo editor is fun to play with

I love the way our waterfall turned out. Water is crystal clear.

Bog on 2/18/12 and Today. Even though I don't have any plants yet, I'm so glad we added it.

Black mulch is so dark. Hopefully it will look better when I have plants in.

View from our deck and the future deck addition.

KoiGuy, I'm going to tell on myself! (My ex husband used to get so mad at me when I did this, saying I made myself sound stupid, but I think I'm just being honest.) I have to be facing or looking north before I have any clue what direction I'm going, and then in my mind I do the (N, S, E, W) or until I get to the direction I need to go. LOL
PL, it's looking fabulous! I love that black mulch, and your plants will cover it up totally in time, I bet. The only thing I would worry about would be the heat, and where I live, the heat would bake the plants. Not sure black would really be that much hotter than the dark red, which is what I have, and the plants do fine. Also, it tends to fade out, or at least the stuff I got did. It looks very rich, and I love the idea of rock, mulch, rocks to break up the areas. And I see you have some flat rocks on the mulch area. Not sure if you plan to leave them there, but I put small stepable rocks around my plants between the deck and pond, as I have to walk in there often, and then I know where the plants are, like now when they are dormant or still underground. I don't step on the root balls or bulbs that way. I really love your waterfall, that's what I was wanting to see. Thanks so much for sharing your pics!

Nope, usually can't tell you that either if I'm traveling. LOL My daughter got me a GPS 3 years ago, and it's the best gift ever for me! I can get turned around getting off interstate, going to McDonalds.
