Mothers Day

My goal this morning was to get water flowing in the new pond.  I got the pond vacuum out and removed all the debris that had accumulated during the build.  After I refilled it, got the UV light installed and hooked up the pump, we were back in business!  As I was cleaning things up, Bev showed up to visit Vera.

Bev brought Vera a pretty bouquet of flowers and a card, they had a nice visit and I got a picture of them as Bev was leaving.  We were invited down to Mik, Michelle and James' for dinner, so we left home about 3:30. 

We spent the afternoon out on their deck enjoying the warm weather. Mik had made steak, chicken and asparagus on the Treager, so we had a delicious dinner. Michelle had gotten Vera Water Lilies for Mothers Day, so we planted them as soon as we got home.

This is how the pond looked this evening, we had saved the moss from the old installation and replanted it.  The silk flowers came with the water lilies and the new liner.  You can't see the real ones, because they are on the bottom, we can hardly wait to see them start growing.
