For years I had been wanting a garden pond for our yard. Then in spring of 2001, our youngest daughter and her husband gave us the pond for mothers day, fathers day and a anniversary gift. We had to do the digging and placing but it certainly has been a joy. The red cistern pump was one we had in our ND farm house when I was a young girl. The only source of water besides a couple of out door pumps(wells). My husband is very handy and set this up to aerate the water for the fish. Today we brought our 2 fish back from my youngest daughters first grade class room where they live and stay in a aquarium all winter. You can see why they are named David and Goliath, because of their size difference. Of coarse the large golden spotted fish is Goliath. They are about 5 yrs old and the school/garden pool arrangement seems to work out well for everyone. I'd like to thank the Zion 1st grade for taking such good care of David and Goliath.

But what about the snakes? do they know your fish are back? This year David and Goliath might be to big for them. I like that way that you angeled the pond. It is a very cute corner of your yard.
