A new year and I have been busy planning for it! Business plan, events, pond tours, workshops, jobs, early buys, plant orders and more… I haven’t missed a sunrise or sunset in 2023 yet! No it’s not a resolution… But I do really enjoy watching both 🌞🌅 Here’s a little collage of some of 2023’s best from the Beach!
Now is when the real work begins…

Today is the last Wednesday of November! You know what that means right… ‘Last Call for Waterfall’s’!
Yes – it’s Waterfall Wednesday 💥
This beautiful Waterfall was built from natural Tennessee stone that was sourced on site! It has such a natural appearance that many that see it have to be convinced that it’s not a ‘real waterfall’! The homeowners just Love It! They start and end every day with this Water Feature right off their back porch.
So let’s say goodbye to November and get ready for the last month of 2022! Look! – Here’s comes Christmas 🎅🏼
Have a Great #Waterfallwednesday!

The month of November is quickly advancing, 2 weeks from tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day! But today is my buffer from the quick passage of time! Today is Waterfall Wednesday!
This is a unique viewpoint of a very cool Water Feature! This is a picture right after it was first turned on! The deck you see in the distance is right off the house – From that viewpoint your overlooking the Pond. You can sit on the edge and put your feet in the water 😊 Pretty nice 👍🏻 But there are many viewpoints and each one reveals something special. The view you are enjoying here is from the lower portion of the feature. The Pond overflows into a stream that flows under a Bridge & into this lower chamber, which is really a hidden pump chamber and water holding area. This is a brand New Custom Water Feature! And I Love it!
This is my offering for #Waterfallwednesday!
Have a great day!

A rainy Monday morning… So I’ve been messing around posting stuff and Found a nice video for the Monday Morning Moment of Zen. This video was taken 1 year ago around the same day as today. A beautiful flowing stream with multiple Waterfall’s ❤️ The best thing about this Natural Looking Water Feature is that it’s right by this couples back door. Imagine being able to enjoy this 24/7 in your own backyard… Priceless 🙏🏻
Enjoy your day!

We have had a long, HOT Summer and have enjoyed feeding our ‘Finned Friends’ every day But now we are going into the cooler months of the year and one of the most asked questions I get is – “When do I STOP feeding my Koi in the Fall?”
It’s very important to take your fish into the colder months as healthy & happy as possible! They are cold blooded and their metabolism will soon slow to a crawl! So feeding the right foods now will really help them for their long journey through Fall & Winter.
When the water temperature hits 60 degrees I discontinue regular Koi Food and start feeding Cool Season Koi Food. I also start giving them some daily treats like fresh or frozen veggies and fruits like (peas, carrots, grapefruit, oranges & melon). These food are a good source of vitamins & minerals and help to ready them for the Winter.
After the water temp drops to 55 degrees I slow my feeding down to 1 time per day with just cool temp Koi food. Then after the water has reached 50 degree’s F. (sustained around 10 days time) STOP all feeding until Spring!
This is tough on me… BUT, I know it’s something that I have to do for their overall health. Feeding them when their metabolism is in Winter mode can/will kill them! So even on a warm day when they are literally begging for food – DON’T DO IT!
And don’t forget – keep the skimmer free of leaves & other debris. I even drape a leaf net over my Pond. It keeps maintenance down to a minimum.
Enjoy this beautiful #Pondtiptuesday!
Happy Pondering!
