2022 pond

We finished the pond in the fall of 2021. We didn’t have time to finish decoration with the flat mica river rocks.

The setup was fine during a extra cold winter like we get every 7 years or so. We get extremely cold winters but 2021 was extra cold.

The pond was fine. The ice was a few inches deep and didn’t pull down the waterfalls.

Spring is here. I bought some plants at the end of April.

Older plants

Finally got the rocks stacked
