Pond
of the Month: October
Steve and Terry Metzler tell their Do It Yourselfer's
story for our October Pond of the Month. They removed
their old 600 gallon pond of 12 years aiming for one
'bigger and better'. |
Tiki Tour Highlights
Our Tiki Tour Saturday provided a new view of four different,
lovely water features. Night tours give us opportunities
for some unusual photos, as in this silhouette of Sandy
and Lois against Barclay and Kelly Compton's swimming
pool. Click here for additional
photos. |

Good Turnout for 2008 Summer tour
About twenty-five people came to tour the lily ponds
at Tower Grove
Park Sunday. Pam started us off with a variety of
drinks; Ben Nowak and Steve Hogenmiller gave us plant
maps; and they were soon explaining the changes to the
pond, telling about what is planted where and pointing
out some wildlife. See our photos.
