Oh and my pond is now dug. Just have to finish shaping it and lay the liner down. If this blasted rain will let up so the puddle that has formed in the hole can dry up.
My Hubby got the privilidge of digging it up for me (with the help of a pick axe borrowed from my Step-dad). And my oldest daughter helped shovel the dirt out.
We came across a few treasures (including some old buried bags of trash). I have pictures of it but they're still on my camera. Oh and our Sasha dog was helping to dig before the pick came over. The ground was too hard to really get a shovel into but the dog doubled the size of the small starter hole very quickly and easily with her sharp nails (she's part Terrier too so LOVES to dig).
