Today ’s picture are from EJ and Wally Rebman . Wally says,“In 1994 I tell our son ’s acquaintance , who had graduate from college in computer architecture , that we wanted a pond in the backyard . In a workweek he presented us his programme and 2 month afterward 36 rafts of mammoth stone was delivered , and that ’s when we looked at each other and said , “ What are we doing ? ” .
We trusted Matt ( the designer ) , so we all dug in . The hole was dug , the liners installed , and the placing of the boulders began . By winter it was filled with piss and the stream bed was start out . In the years since the pool has become our “ peace place ” .
We know in Rockford , Illinois , in a wooded domain that we entrust wild while we were busy raising our three children . As the pond has matured , it has become an haven for us as well as nature ’s visitors , such as dragonflies , butterfly , bee , birds , toads , and frogs , to name a few . ”
What a beautiful pool , Wally and EJ . So smart of you to trust Matt ! And the remainder of your garden is wonderful , too . I have sex the wood fencing and those wonderful bricks !
