I used to have a collection of various shells, and shell fragments in baskets along the wall at the entrance to my home. All of them found a new home last week when I had the "kids" dig a hole in the front yard for my pond.

| The pond is in |
 |
| and then the fish |
I know running water, and fountains are good Chi, and was told to have the water flow coming towards the house, to simulate money flowing in, not out.
 |
| the water runs down the big rock |
|
 |
| Louisiana Iris and mini Cattails are on each side of the big rock |
 |
| My mermaid gazes longingly at the fish in the pond |
 |
| around the base of the mermaid, Florida shells, Oregon sand dollars, and Gulf Coast sponges, and a sea tossed coconut |
|
 |
| more shells, another coconut, and one of my sea turtles |
 |
| a stepping stone to get over to the pond. I want to make a more natural one...... |
I arranged, and rearranged shells, hubby stacked the Florida limestone rocks, and made the waterfall. I have another iris, and a white waterlily trying to grow in the pond. We still have little touches to see to, and the grass needs to fill back in, but we like it. I'm excited to see the mini cattails. Oh! and the mermaid....now that's another post! She has a little story behind how we came to have her.
I enjoy hearing the water trickle into the pond when the door is open. It's so peaceful. Love it!
Have a wonderful Saturday!
