Our Backyard Oasis {Pond & Waterfall}

M&M Embellishments
by M&M Embellishments
My son and I created a backyard oasis a few years ago. It brings us so much enjoyment all summer long!
This is what it looked like before
I went to work one day and he surprised me by just starting on what we had envisioned.
We live in Northwestern PA so we had to make a part of the pond quite deep so the fish will survive through the winter. They don't all survive, so I have given up getting the expensive Koi.
We got all of the rocks/ boulders off of our own property. So, a lot of digging for the pond itself and for the rocks! {No wonder I have back problems}
This year, we have two new additions to watch over the pond. I love my frogs, and hope these will entice the real ones to come soon!
And my big guy likes to drink from the waterfall.... :)

      Thank you Carolina!! Yes, a lot of work... we put the pond in about 7-8 years ago. My son moved away the next year  , so now it is up to me to keep up with it all... makes me feel my age! lol
