My neighbor Glenn, who is a retired St Louis City Police Officer, often borrows some of my rocks for his watergarden projects that he builds in his front yard…talk about a guy with many talents…a few years ago he went down to the river and brought back some water plants for his water pond and gold fish in that pond…as well as some big flat rocks to help his fish hide from predators like Barn Owls that would sit up in the tree overhead and watch for the fish to come out from under those rocks and into the open water. A couple of years ago he added a waterfall to the goldfish pond and it sits about 3 feet high and runs all the time, day and night, all four seasons.

This summer, he was out there late one night when I was off, and it looked like he was starting a new project…so I went over to check it out and he told me he had the good fortune of meeting the manager at Havin Material here in town, and the guy let him load up as many concrete chunks as he wanted to haul off for them, get them out of their way, and then he returned for some of the old concrete powder, which is a huge nuisance for them due to the dust it creates, and he combined those two ingredients to make a huge waterfall in his yard, next to his house, that joins up with another new water pond that sits back behind the other water pond and smaller waterfall. The new one is prob about 12 to 15 feet wide and stairsteps down…

I took this one back in the fall when he was still working on it…here it is today in the snow…he is still working on it, will prob finish it this summer…..

..below he is wading in the original water pond with galoshes on…I told him he looked like Bill Murray in the movie Caddyshack. 🙂
