Heartspring Pond and Future Falls
Originally uploaded by Kiki Karia.
Last Saturday, after the guys who had helped Mike and Jeremy with the constructing of our backyard pond had left, I sat down at the computer to blog on the event. A while later, I was interrupted by Mike calling me to come outside. “Now what”? I irritably muttered. My whole day had been spent taking pictures, doing laundry, getting drinks for all the guys and fixing lunch for them. I had made them a big pot of my homemade Italian minestrone soup. I was tired and needed some “me” time. Reluctantly, I stepped outside. Mike motioned me over to the pond, and to my surprise, I saw this heart-shaped rock mortared to the inside of the pond. Mike had found it amongst the stones he had bought for building the pond and falls. Instantly my irritation vanished, and my face broke out in a big smile. It was a special moment as Mike and I held each other. I told him that we should name the pond. He suggested “Heart Springs”, and it has stuck. I’m looking forward to seeing Heartspring falls when it is finished and perhaps dipping my tootsies in the tranquil water. More to follow in future posts.
Awwww…you guys are SO cute! 😀
A very special rock for your new project. I want to see more pictures when it is all finished.
Shirley and Tena, Thanks for your comments. I will post more pictures as the work continues. Mike is hoping to have it finished sometime in October. This weekend he didn’t get much done because our son was not here to help him. But he mortared and laid more rock, and it’s really shaping up nicely.
Love you both!
Oh how fun is that! Perfect way to end the day!
