zen pond

[chaiamrge]

Part of my weekend was spent at my parents' house. I finally got around to cleaning out the pond I built last year. We didn't put a screen over it so it go clogged with leaves in the fall, and was now a breeding ground for icky stuff. So I put on some rubber boots and gloves and pumped, vacuumed and bailed out all the water. It was pretty gross to see the little wormy larva swimming around when just a puddle remained.

Vanessa and I went and bought a couple more plants to fill in the garden on the side. Then I setup the pump and filter and places some strategic snake plants...and voila. The water feature is back in action
