From Dirt to Water

Welcome to Met Monday hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. It's a great day to show all of the BIG changes that we've made -- inside or outside!

Having lived at Linderhof for 21 years our metamorphasis are far and few between. We've done our changing. From the aqua living room to the awful vanity in the bathroom, we've painted and changed and even changed again.

But . . . . occasionally, just occasionally, there is something new at Linderhof!

A triangle in the garden outside the breakfast room. At one time (in the 20's) it was supposedly a rose bed. We put the heated bird bath there this winter for it gave a good view of the birds. But it is not a pretty site. So unpretty, in fact, that the cat even has it's back turned! This is Point A.

But a couple of days of work (not by us -- we're not that talented) and we have a pond complete with a happy cat spewing water! It's not too big just 4 x 6 but I can imagine it with some plants and fish darting back and forth -- what whimsy that. Goldfish swimming under the cat!
It's stone and concrete which would be the type of pond in the garden of a 1920's house. And we are excited that our ugly triangle has now turned into a useful pond. It is Point B.

When I get the landscaping done there will be a Point C and that will be another Met Monday post!
