Here's where the water comes in -- it came through the pipes that come under the road from the water treatment plant across the street.

Then it comes out of the pipe here. It gets sprayed like this for some technical reason:

Then it goes through these holes to be piped out to the ponds:

Here is a pond:

Here are a male and female blue-winged teal swimming in a pond:

The ponds are really nice

Listening to a wonderful trio play some modern music by Elle Taaffe Zwilich and Arvo Part. I hope it gets my mind prepped to get back to my paper.

The Monarch Scientist is hoping to create an overwintering habitat there.

Nice ducks, Laura.

The mountain laurel is in bloom here. That means the air smells like Grape Nehi. I love this time of year here.

One more:

Then after it goes through all of the cleansing: the chemical treatment, the oxygenation, waterfalls, filtering down through the layers of sand, etc., it is piped out to the Gila River bed to create a natural riparian habitat.

The natural riverbed is down where the trees are.

I have one of those in my yard, John. I am waiting for it to bloom for the first time. I love it.

I would love to have your "ugly" tile....the previous owners of this house covered the walls of my kitchen (well of course it was their kitchen then) with gradated brown tile - it is dreadful... and we have an very ugly yellow formica counter top which has been well used as a cutting board

thank you for the pictures from your field trip Laura!

Vixmom, I had a very ugly yellow formica counter that had been used as a cutting board too. Wonder if your former owners were related to my former owners

I must admit of all the changes I've made to this house. New countertops made me the happiest.

DR Laura, thank you for showing the photos. It's really very cool the way they created a habitat. I take any sarcasm back from my previous statement...you really do have an exciting life!

Laura · « **Reply #163 on:** March 10, 2011, 08:28:20 PM »

LOL, Cillaliz!

I have been wanting countertops for 30 years. I save all year and make one home-improvement.

Last year's project wasn't too expensive: I refinished the interior doors. Sometime before that, I refinished the kitchen cabinets.

The roof, pipes, and windows weren't exciting. The backyard makeover was fun. And the countertops will make such a difference in the appearance of my tiny kitchen.

Laura · « **Reply #165 on:** March 10, 2011, 08:30:12 PM »

And, the more we spend on home-improvements, the more the value of the house goes down!

Holy moley on rye - another 125 posts or so and I hit a rather magnificent new plateau.

Yuck! They are doing a story on cyclic vomiting syndrome on the news. Do I really need to hear this?

FJL · « **Reply #172 on:** March 10, 2011, 08:39:37 PM »

They're talking on TV about using an ice bath to lose weight.

FJL · « **Reply #173 on:** March 10, 2011, 08:40:26 PM »

The ice bath sounds better than vomiting while cycling.

the southpark guys are on Jon Stewart talking about their Book of Mormon

Did you go see this FJL?

They called it an abdominal migraine or intestinal migraine or something. Chandra Wilson's daughter has it. Did I really need to know this?

I'm surprised someone hasn't done a comedy routine on all the goofy things the Wisconsin Senate could pass while the Democrats are in Illinois. Not commenting on the real issue, butsince they only need the supermajority on budget bills, they could make all kinds of goofy proclamations, laws etc and they'd pass.

Laura · « **Reply #179 on:** March 10, 2011, 08:49:51 PM »

Cillaliz, Now sounds like a good time to turn off the tv and go to hulu.com and watch an old Dick Van Dyke Show episode.
