Unusual warm weather in Kansas this past spring. We had lilies blooming in March. Our first pond was set up in 1997. SInce then we have added a fairly goodsized pond in the back yard. There is an upper pond, two stream beds, waterfall pool, 4 ft deep big pond, and a graduated pond that goes from 2 to 1 foot deep. We put in a lotus bath. My husband and son did all the digging. The dirt was used to create a large berm near the pond that furnishes an overlook and some smaller berms. Will post photos soon.
