I've never seen the dahlias perform so beautifully!!

With more than 600 varieties growing in the garden it is a kalaidascope of colors!!  Absolutely breathtaking!!  I took a bunch of photos of the dahlias but the camera setting was not the best.  I will take more photos today and try to do better than these ones:

Busy now with labeling and tagging the dahlias...

POND becomes a reality!!

 New wall behind the bathtub waterfall.

 The wall and stairs... our house is in the background.

 The bathtub and steps created so we can walk into the pond (with chestwaders on) to clean if needed.

The fountain!!  We've added pink and white waterlilies that are now putting out their leaves.  Much yet to do!

At last, our pond sprays waters from a delightful fountain; the waterfall out of the bathtub performs beautifully; Art has been busy with block creating a lovely wall, steps and other creative areas.  It is so pleasant to sit and watch the fish with the watersounds!
