A friend dropped by during my days off and happened to have a photo album with these pictures of the pond as we were finishing lining it. This was the hardest of the labor. It wore me out and ruined Bill's back, but that seems to have saved his marriage. The greenery seen in some of the background is composed of a few stunted elm trees that grow in what was once an irrigation ditch. My sister's grandson calls it "the forest", but it really isn't.
