went outside to see if I could get the waterfall going… it stopped for some reason early in the week so I had gone out and unplugged it… I wasn’t looking forward to the prospect…

I took a ton of leaves out of the pond and dug around the pump with my hands to clear out some of the muck… the water was cold…

got everything working, moved the milkweed, and emptied some of the pots which held dead plants… I left the fishnet in the water hoping the fish will get used to it so when we go to catch them they will be more cooperative, lol…

then I spent time cleaning out the morning glories, adding plants to a pot by the hot tub and rearranging furniture around the lower deck…

it looks lovely and will be a great place for any garden visits that might happen on nice days;-)…

by the time I was finished, I was very happy and pleased with all that had been accomplished…
