working at home

After a fabulous weekend at the Mauna Lani (thanks Grandma and Grandpa), we came home to a gorgeous day at home (after torrential rains the week before).

GB set right to work in the yard and decided to tackle some umbrella grass that was taking over our koi pond. He started by trimming it, but soon abandoned that project to just take the whole gigantic root ball OUT of the pond.

Here he is.... he's got the ball half way out of the pond. it's big and HEAVY.

We called for reinforcements- and with some serious group effort - all 4 of us pushing and pulling.... we got the thing out of the pond. It's BIG!

This toad skeleton was at the bottom of this root ball. pretty cool!


This is the dense, but very cool and pretty root system.
