Good morning 🌞 It’s the 1st Monday of the Autumn season, so I wanted to share a beautiful Waterfall this morning that sits right under a gorgeous Red Maple tree. It has turned to Fall color now, and coupled with the sound of the Water, it makes for a very nice place to sit and prepare for the day.
I hope this has helped you find that Moment of Zen for your day as well. 🙏🏻
Have a great day!

Good Morning! Brace yourself… This is the last morning of late Summer… tomorrow is the Autumnal Equinox, ie; The 1st day of Fall 🍁
I always try to post proactive things you can do to keep your Water Garden clean and your Koi healthy over the Fall & Winter. Things like – Cutting your aquatic plants back, using pond/Koi netting, watching your skimmer more closely, feeding Cool Temp Koi Food, etc. – There’s another very important thing you can do to really keep your ecosystem active and working well
– Switch to Cool Season Beneficial Bacteria!
Our Cold Water Beneficial Bacteria works and keeps on working when the plants and fish aren’t active and really helps the quality of your Pond Water! It is extremely effective at reducing sludge, dead and decaying leaves and plants, built up fish waste & excess nutrients like ammonia, nitrates & phosphates. These things make for poor water quality, reduced water clarity and can have catastrophic effects on your fishes health.
The next piece of ’Low Hanging Fruit’ im going to serve up is this : Every Pond should have a floating Pond thermometer Our finned friends are cold blooded & water temperature is very important when it comes to seasonal feeding times. Pick one up at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio today.
The last Pond Tip for today is this – “Our Koi have eaten well this year & have put on a good bit of fat to get them through the Cool Season ahead. Now is the time that many of my clients and fellow Koi enthusiasts start asking a very important question…
– When do I stop feeding regular food and start feeding Cool Season Koi Food?
Switching to a Cool Temperature Koi Food is very important for the health of your Koi!
Well thats enough for today I just want you all to be ready with the tools and things you need to easily succeed during the changing of the seasons.
Tomorrow is the start of a new Season! Are You ready for some Fall? 🏈 🍁 🔥
PS: Join us October 1st for a FREE Pond Maintenance Workshop!

The older I get, the quicker these seasonal changes seem to come… WOW! Are we already looking at the END of Summer?
Summer is going out on a HOT note! High 90’s today & we may very well see 100 degrees tomorrow! 🥵 But, then on the official 1st day of Fall (Thursday the 22nd) the high is only gonna be around 80 degrees… Do the seasons know it’s time?
“During the autumnal equinox, the sun shines directly on the equator, and the northern and southern hemispheres get the same amount of rays. The alignment officially occurs this year on Thursday, September 22”
So the 1st full day of Fall is on the 22nd. Are you ready for Fall?
“Lyric night of the lingering Indian summer, Shadowy fields that are scentless but full of singing, Never a bird, but the passionless chant of insects, Ceaseless, insistent. The grasshopper’s horn, and far-off, high in the maples, The wheel of a locust leisurely grinding the silence Under a moon waning and worn, broken, Tired with summer. Let me remember you, voices of little insects, Weeds in the moonlight, fields that are tangled with asters, Let me remember, soon will the winter be on us, Snow-hushed and heavy. Over my soul murmur your mute benediction, While I gaze, O fields that rest after harvest, As those who part look long in the eyes they lean to, Lest they forget them.”
~ Sara Teasdale
Here’s to changing seasons… 🍾

Good morning! I love to start off the week with a Waterfall! I thought I would use one of my Instagram videos this morning. Instagram is still fairly new to me, but I’m enjoying experimenting with it. Check this one out. I just posted it this morning. If your on Instagram, please like and follow my page. It’s all original pictures and video of things we designed and built.
Have a great week!

It’s a brisk Monday Morning and time to shuck those sheets and hit them streets… Here’s a short video from Saturday nights Moonlight Pond Tour 🌝 What a beautiful evening/night it was! Imagine waking up to the sound of falling water everyday. These folks do, and it changed their lives for the better ❤️
I’m getting ready for a great work week ahead! I hope you enjoy yours as well 🙏🏼

Jump down, turn around and it’s Waterfall Wednesday again! Todays waterfall is a night shot of a beautifully lit Waterfall at night, in honor of this weekends Moonlight Pond Tour!
If your like me, you work all day and have much more time to enjoy your Waterfall in the evening and at night. That’s why I always install lights on my Water Features. That way you get 2 ponds for the price of one – The Daytime Pond AND the Nighttime Pond 🌕
Come to the Moonlight Pond Tour this Saturday and you will see why the night pond is my Favorite!
Have a wonderful #Waterfallwednesday!

The sound of a Waterfall is soothing to the senses… So is the sound of the rain. Put them both together and you have the ultimate sound and a true place of Zen… Listen to this.
I always try to share a Waterfall on Monday morning, there is nothing better to get you centered and ready to face the week ahead.
Have a Great one!
