Tuesday, June 7, 2011 Night pond

Rain again today. Oh well, tomorrow is another day and hopefully a warm, sunny one. Awaited the arrival of Tourism Chilliwack to look at the rooms. After the customary ooooohs and aaaaaahs they left and I felt like my bed and breakfast was the best in town. We decided to wait until dark to take our daily picture. I wanted a shot of the yard  with all the lights on. A couple of days ago my camera started acting up, well it was more like a couple of months ago, but lately it has been worse. I snap the picture but nothing happens. So tonight after many frustrating tries I managed to get this one picture. It wasn't what I was looking for but I guess I should be grateful I got any picture. Yes, this is yet another picture of the pond area taken when the sun went down. Our waterfall developed a leak so we will have to take it all apart and start over again, hence, no water falling into the pond. So until tomorrow I bid you good bye and sweet dreams.

Monday, May 30, 2011 The New Waterfall

Today was not a great day as far as sunshine goes. I decided if it was going to be an inside day I might as well clean a couple of rooms. Did the bathroom then moved on to the bedroom. I don't remember it being that dusty ever. It's a wonder I didn't come down with black lung in there. Got it all spic and span and between dusting and vacuuming went outside to see what Melissa was up to. She was redesigning the pond so the water wouldn't leak out the sides. We wanted a waterfall effect and spent most of yesterday trying to get it looking good and working well. Today she hit pay dirt. She carted a piece of marble around from the carport and when that didn't fit I went over to get another piece that was a tad smaller and looked like it might fit. I was out of breath by the time I got to the back door so went for the wheel barrow to put it in. Melissa was up to her thighs in water as she waded in the scum and dirty water of the lower pond. I really wanted to take a picture but she was adamant that better not happen. She finished it and we tested it. Everything seems to be working and the water that comes over that piece of marble was sounding like I was at Bridal Falls. I'm liking it. We enjoyed a nice dip in the hot tub with hot chocolate spiked with a dash of Irish Cream. Yummmmmmy. Yes it was. So until tomorrow good bye and I just know we will get sunshine tomorrow.
