semi-formal pond??
Comments (2)goylesgirl, Check out the link I included. With some plywood forms and creativity, it is doable. I would pick up a good source (book) on pond construction and look up as much as you can find on pond building into a slope. One caution though: Plan / draw into your pond some sort of drainage at the bottom. I can see a possibility of too much water at the bottom when it rains in your neighborhood (drinking coffee in shin deep water). Here's my pond.

Comments (18)This is a fun thread - I really enjoy reading what others do to celebrate. In our family Christmas Eve is the night. Oooh, which brings me to this - xmas - was anyone else taught not to wright that as it is "x"ing out the name of Christ? Just curious? I am not overly religious or anything but my catholic girl upbringing has that ingrained in my head!!!! So Christmas eve we go to midnight mass candlelight service and nosh all night on all sorts of things (kielbasa and sauerkraut are traditional - hmmm methinks that is weird but I still do it). On Christmas day we revel in staying in our new Christmas pajamas and just hanging out. Paulines - heeee My sister is married to a nice jewish boy (ira) and my fairly religious in-laws (catholic) are visiting this year from Florida. So, I do Christmas Eve and my sister does Christmas. She just told me she will be making brisket and chicken noodle soup. Ahhh the look on my in-laws faces. Not your traditional christmas dinner! My BIL and I have alot of good laughs together. One year my sister made Ham during passover. Heeee!!!!!...See MoreFormal vs Informal Dresses
Comments (5)It's your wedding. Wear whatever is your dream! Just make sure the style of the bridesmaids matches the style of your dress. I found a beautiful dress that was kind of "loose/dreamy/running through the wildflowers" feeling but had already bought my bridesmaid dresses (long black cocktail type dresses) and it didn't match them at all. Found another dress more clean lined that I loved and made a much better match....See MoreFormal to informal pond.
Comments (2)How wide will the strip be? I can see potential problems mowing the grass- either pysical problems in not wanting to tip the mower in the water, or danger to baby frogs etc. How about a few stepping stones instead, and instead of grass having a carpet of low growing plants spilling down from the rockery?...See Morefranksmom_2010
