We moved to Washington about 3-1/2 months ago. Our new house had a waterfall and pond, the latter of which was in pretty poor shape -- murky green water, lots of algae on the rocks, etc. We\'ve cleaned it up and added some plants (2 water lilies (Patio Joe and Charlene Strawn), a Japanese Water Lily, and a couple of clumps of Water Hyacinth. Now our pond is clear (thanks largely to the plants) and full of life (pollywogs from our Pacific Chorus Frogs, water boatmen, water beetle, and some snails I introduced). We\'re planning to add some shibunkins and a catfish or two in a couple of months (after a trip to Hawaii to meet our Australian kids and grandkids).
