Day 5

Gardening is one of my favorite hobbies. Each summer I'll add new beds or other features to the garden. Brian and the kids gave me this water garden several years ago for Mother's Day and it has been a wonderful addition to my perennial border. Brian put up this white picket fence behind it this past summer.

The water garden looks pretty dismal this time of year, but in the spring and summer it is lovely with water plants and water lilies. We get lots of visitors like frogs, snakes, toads, dragon flies and all types of water insects. I am hoping to add another larger water garden this summer.

How do you keep leaves and debris out of it? We wanted to put in a pond, but decided it would be too much work to keep clean.
