August 2023 – Ongoing construction of big pond and bridge

Work on the big pond was stopped for more than 20 days, almost a month because it was too rainy. They were able to start again in August. Things started moving along quickly!

This is the bottom of the bridge. It will be covered in soil.

August was a rainy month. The rain makes the soil very sticky!

the soil instantly sticks to your shoes making it hard to walk
No work, too muddy! Puddles are already forming!

The rain made it hard to work but it was very good for the other ponds! The water level in the water lily pond went up and the plants were thriving.

Tonji is worried about whether it will rain too much for us to finish the pond. We should have started this project earlier!
