The saga of the pond continues.
I surrounded the hole with cinder block since it was filling up with mud from the yard.
Then I ordered some stack stone and began to stack. I stack and stacked and stacked. It was a lot harder than I expected. I mortared everything together late at night after the kids were asleep.
My friend Della was dividing her water lilies and gave me a pot full. One bloomed almost right away! A good omen for sure!
Here is the finished product.

The dragonfly was the first piece of pond I got from Kevin and the kids, for Christmas. It was the last piece to go in place.The pond is finally finished!!!
