I've been crazy busy around here trying to keep up with the gardens an normal work.  I took a break yesterday to get some photos. 

This is the little pond we put in this year.  The plants floating in the pond are water hyacinths.  They were two tiny plants when I put them in a month ago.  It looks like they like that spot as they are growing nicely!  I also have 3 comet gold fish in there.   Don't mind the silly spiting frog on the log.  That's what I used before I got the waterfall set up. 

Having even a small pond in your yard attracts lots of wildlife!  I've seen many more birds, butterflies and dragonflies since we put it in.  They all enjoy bathing and drinking from the waterfall area.  These are some photos of butterflies that had finished drinking.  They landed down on the mulched area to dry their wings.

I believe the first one  is a Painted Lady butterfly.  We raised them last year.   Anyone know what the black and blue one is?

This is a wide photo of my herb/sitting area.  We aren't done landscaping it yet but the pond is in the corner.
