| The pumps are in and the water is flowing. The upper waterfall is better than I had hoped for. |

| And the pond filled - overnight. It looks cold and deep. It is. |

| And the lower waterfall was better than I imagined! It's great when a plan comes together! Wow. Cool. New word - Awesum... |

| What about this view? I like it, yet we aren't done! We haven't planted much except the Japanese maple by the steps. It gets better. |

| A view looking north, the rambling steps up to the shop, big boulders everywhere. I think I like it! |

| The lava rock juts out just like I knew it would. Oh, I didn't tell you the final gallons on the fill - eleven thousand, five hundred. (11,500). I know. We all thought it would more. It is much bigger than the 22,000 gallon pool. But it isn't. The water meter didn't lie. Even with four and a half feet of depth and seventy feet long, the average depth being about two feet. |

| And clear. I had an algae bloom in the spring and a long one September, 2006. Things will settle down... |
