The little hole that could...

[tbendl]

Awe thank you @Lisak1 . Although to be fair I had my own "volcano" with the first waterfall design. Lol I am liking this a lot more although we will see how it works come spring.

We are getting into spring! I finally got the back tree landscaped a bit and now we wait for grass and green growy things to emerge. I also still have a few more "sissy socks" to make for rocks but the ones that I have made for the far side of the pond have done a great job of covering the liner. Sadly my tiny pump didn't survive the winter so I'll probably be pulling my pot feature. All in all she is coming along nicely.

Pretty!!!!!
What are "sissy socks?"

 

[tbendl]

LOL @sissy showed me how to sew pockets out of screen to hold rocks. I put them in below the water line so I can rock up the walls of the pond since I didn't dig shelves. The left side has a sissy sock and I still have to make one for the right. I love them! I also use them for plants in the summer

Here are some better pictures.

Glad to hear from you @tbendl . The pond is looking good.

 

[tbendl]

Thanks Cas, how have you and the pond been? Are you out of the snow yet?

 

[cas]

Well, I was hopeful. February had temps it the 70's, but just got 12 inches of snow this week.

 

[tbendl]

Oh nooo. It's been a crazy winter. I was out on the boat in February, we hit 30's Monday and it's back into the 70's today.
I hope your snow melts soon!

Oh wow! That's really cool!

Oh wow! That's really cool!

I love them and am so thankful for sissy showing me them. They are easy to make, hide really well, and are an easy fix to what otherwise would have been a PITA (digging a shelf after the fact). I use screen and fishing wire and the ones on the other side have been in for 2 years with no problems.

Great looking pond...

 

[tbendl]

Thanks Nanner!
Here's the sissy sock in action! I got the other side done!

I woke up this morning to blooming flowers and happiness.
Coffee just tastes better with flowers and the sound of running water.

What are the purple flowers going in the back of the picture?
