Lido deck and spa

So called because of the number of birds that drop by for bathing and lounging. Yesterday I cleaned out 3 years worth of their sludge from this upper deck. It's now a sparkling oasis in which our feathered friends may frolic. No, I don't usually speak like that. You can see the new granite/quartz rock to soften the splash.

In this last picture you get a wee glimpse of the middle pond. It's about 450 gallons. I usually add some feeder goldfish and a few handfuls of minnows to keep any mosquitoes at bay. They are great entertainment for the resident 10yr old to catch.  The minnows, not the mossies.

Must head out into this beautiful mid-teen weather and get the large pond fired up.
