Some people have been home sick for days on end--seems the flu has hit late this year. I'm planning to join the walking meme as the days get warmer--which will start next week, with temps in the 50s! I hope you'll join in the Lessons Learned meme, too.

I never knew how a waterfall would be set up, and this is very interesting and helpful. When my hubby helps me with projects, I am always cautioning him where to step as well. Mostly, he is careful, but there have been a few accidents. :) I look forward to the next installment and learning more about your gorgeous waterfall.The Sage Butterflynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570308709067611215.post-70944070132093711582013-01-09T19:58:03.260-07:002013-01-09T19:58:03.260-07:00How awesome!

That's great that your guy can just build something like a waterfall! I can't wait to see how you did the rest. I've been pondering some sort of small water feature, but can't figure out how to easily put one in (and my husband isn't allowed to lift or anything, so I do all the heavy digging and such).
