Growing up beside a running creek was so much fun that I can’t even begin to describe the way it may me feel as a kid.  However, when we moved away from that sleepy little place right after I graduated from High School and before I went to college, I realized what I missed most was the sound of the river outside my window as I slept!  Since then I have been trying to replicate that sound so I could sleep better at night.

About five years ago my wife bought me a sound machine that was beside our bed for a long time and, as good as that was, it wasn’t the same as the real thing.  With that in mind I set out to build my own backyard waterfall last fall and it has been fantastic!  I used native rocks and stone to surround my pond.  I used a pond kit to hold the water and it had the pump I needed for the pond part and I found another l=kit for the waterfall part.  It was hard work digging up the yard because we live where there is a bunch of red clay but it has been worth it!  Now I open up my bedroom window at night and sleep like a baby!
