Pond

Page 7 is a mixture of photos from 2011 and 2020, as well some of the parts for the new reno next summer. The totally green of the pond is duckweed. It looks pretty but "Duckweed, though, can be a huge problem in a pond. This will encourage growth of anaerobic bacteria, which create toxic water conditions that can kill fish, turtles, and other plants and further encourage the duckweed proliferation. That's all bad. Smaller backyard ponds generally don't have much trouble with duckweed." I do need to skim it off and skim off fallen leaves and debris. Apparently the goldfish do eat duckweed, so should help in the control.
The second photo of April 2020 shows the whole pond with the mermaid missing. This must have been when the mermaid had been thrown in the pond and not been fished out. It also shows the attempt to make the water outlet work better. A photo on the next line of photos, of the 27th of April, 2019, shows the mermaid in its spot overlooking the little willow. Its amazing how she could have leaped from back by the willow, into the pond. Sometime in November or December of 2019, the mermaid was thrown in the pond. I replaced it on June 4th, 2020.
The waterfall with all the moss was shot in May of 2008. and the globe flower in May of 2019. The last two photos are the spillway I hope to get installed next summer. No doubt, there will be photos. :)
