I have to pat myself on the back here – I’ve done a lot of landscaping changes without spending money, just moving plants around.  It helps to have been gardening long enough to know which plants can be hacked apart to make new ones, and which ones make roots from cuttings. . .all that stuff. 

The cats, of course, think I put the pond up just so they could have running water to drink from.  And a lovely place to pose and show off their natural beauty.  Witness Calvin:

Don’t go buying anything else from canon, dude.  You registered as Mr. Alison, left all your information, and I changed it all.  Next time you log on to the Canon Club, you’ll be Mr. Stupidhead.  I left your password the same for now, but rest assured, if you change it, I’ll be notified.

Update:  Just for ha-has, I checked a couple of the Chinese character e-mails that had some English in them.  Mr. Alison, your packages have been shipped.  Too bad you won’t get the tracking numbers.
