For those who follow the pond news, we have 3 ponds. Upper for goldfish, middle for whatever, and lower pond otherwise known as the swamp, for breeding salamanders.
Well, middle pond sprung a leak, and got emptied out bucket by bucket, by me. See below for how it looked in winter, and a clue that the ice may have caused the plastic to break. It was time for a middle pond upgrade, and someone needed a project...
Out with the old plastic pond, and in with the new liner (special ordered for project to begin when Chris arrived here from Vermont)
Of course it is about 90 degrees and humid, that is how the summer has been. Pond building went fast, since someone had places to go and people to see. I was left to do the landscaping, my favorite part!
Anna the dog poses with the new middle pond, keeping far from the water. We already have many froggy visitors and a few young salamanders.
