This statue belonged to my sister-in-law before I got squatter's rights from storing it at my place!

Oh, these are marvelous! LB, what gorgeous ponds -- they look like Mother Nature created them spontaneously, wild and beautiful and free. What a gift you have.

Newark, OH(Zone 5a)

Thank you WR but DH is the landscaper in the family. We both planned the ponds and plants but he put the ponds in himself and we both planted....and planted.....and planted. We sit in the gazebo beside the side ponds and swing on the glider in it. I hope to get the pictures of the gardens and gazebo posted tomorrow.

Boy, am I ever jealous!! :) Those pics are so calming. Keep them comin!! "T" :)

Bob is one talented landscape artist. It must be such a joy to sit in your yard, surrounded by such beauty.

Your photos of your ponds belong in a magazine. They are so beautiful. Are the ponds done with pond liners or preformed. We are mulling over putting in a pond in ground. Right now we have a galvanized water tank, because of the critters, that would raid a inground pond, but I think we should try one anyways. More photos, they are great.

Stunning! What a delightful view you have created.

Newark, OH(Zone 5a)

Thank you all so much. Bob is flattered that you think his handiwork is so beautiful and peaceful.

Debby, They are all preformed and the largest one is only about 130 gallons. It is all in the setting how large they look when they are complete.

Absolutely stunning!!!!!!

Milo, IA(Zone 5a)

They look magnificent. I thought that maybe one of them was preformed. But all three, they really do look large like they were with a liner. I am going to show my DH the pics.

Aren't they wonderful? I am SO jealous of their yard. I'm afraid Howie and I don't work nearly so hard in our yard, and it shows...When I grow up (ha!) I want to garden just like mom and dad!

Wow. Just beautiful, and the plantings in and around the ponds are perfect. Is your DH for rent?

That is such an inviting place. I know where I would be.

Kneff.........how much are you willing to pay? At least travel expenses? Course, I'd have to come along and meet some Michigan gardeners!

Everything is negotiable! There's sure a lot of design talent in Newark...
