Mid-May Update

For Mother's Day we cleaned the pond. It was pretty bad. I'd like to figure out a better rock situation. These round rocks just trap leaves and gunk. I'm willing to completely remove them and mortar in some flat rocks around the perimeter but I'm clueless about the waterfall. Any suggestions? Amazingly, Carrie's fish "Calla" survived the winter, the heron and the gunk. After we build a net for the top, we'll get some low maintenance goldfish.

Another update for the DosiDose is that we finally got a riding mower. We've been here over a year using our push mower and I was done. It took over three hours to mow the grass every time. Now it should take about an hour. We are still getting used to the mower.
There was an "incident" with a small tree.
We've been enjoying Jenny now that the weather is getting nicer.
The girls have been bareback riding quite a bit.
