| A Project As Big As Reality |
| With my family's help I began my backyard project during the summer of 2006. We hauled in a lot of dirt and dug a hole. I got a little ahead of myself. I started planting growing things too. |
| By fall, others began seeing the shape of my vision. There wasn't enough summer to accomplish what I wanted to get done, but we did get the waterfall in eventually. |

| By the end of summer 2007 my fish pond became a reality. The pair of adult goldfish provided us with an ample supply of baby fish and to our surprise a hummingbird pair moved in. |
| Now I could sit by the pond, listen to the water cascading, and enjoy the colorful array of flowers. Birds and butterflies became frequent visitors. |
