Here We Go. . . .Again

While the granddaughters are excellent at working with Ground Goop (per Sassi's formula) and daughter-in-law might be even better, they've done enough of that, I suppose.  So, for the farm pond I decided to go ahead with the goop and allow the "daughters" to do something new!!

Standard formula, 1 part each of brownish latex paint, vermiculite, and celluclay plus about 3/4 part of Elmer's glue and 1/2 cap of  Lysol -- not sure the last ingredient was needed since I'm using it all up at once.

Now for application.  Decided to also start filling in near the Quonset hut/Army Reserve site.

Seems this "dirt" is a bit "redder" than the cotton field.  Maybe it will darken with age. . . .

Also added a few "boulders" since the boys fishing might need a platform. Besides, how can Rock Hill be Rock Hill without some rocks?  Thought I'd get cute with some ruts from the Cotton Gin and a few hoof prints leading down to the pond where the horse goes to drink.  Some of the holes would be enough to swallow a whole leg!  We'll work with it from there.

Maybe I should paint the bottom of the pond before the girls are here to fill it.  Maybe not.
