There’s more to building a koi pond than just digging a big hole! Today we’re explaining how our skimmer will work and how we’re setting things up to allow the water level to fluctuate without causing problems. We’re learning as we go, and there’s a LOT that goes into making this pond work the way we envision! Follow along to see our koi pond come to life, one step at a time!

🐟 Weekend 1 of our koi pond build is underway! 🪏 We’re officially breaking ground, and Brian has decided to start by digging the skimmer area by hand so he can reroute the drain lines and sprinklers. 😂 I may have teased him a little about digging this entire pond by hand, but we’re about to find out just how much we can accomplish in our first weekend! How much do you think we’ll get done? 👀 Follow along with Our Rooted Mess as we turn this backyard vision into reality!

Nothing beats homemade apple crisp with a buttery, crumbly topping made with fresh-milled flour! I love knowing exactly what goes into the food we make from scratch, and fresh-milled flour takes it to another level! Who else loves a warm apple crisp straight from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream? 🙋‍♀️

The koi pond project is officially underway! Brian is digging out the skimmer area by hand to reroute the drain lines and sprinklers. But of course, I have to give him a hard time because he keeps joking that he’s going to dig the ENTIRE pond by hand! 😂🤣 I know he isn’t serous and he is just trying to keep me entertained, but either way, this should be interesting! Follow along as our koi pond takes shape!

Fresh milled flour blueberry muffins, hot out of the oven! 🫐🤤 That fluffy inside, juicy blueberries, and fresh-baked goodness! Tell me these don’t look amazing! 😍 Now I just need to scale this recipe to make a full batch. Should I make 12 muffins? Or would you want more? 👇

What do you do when you get a whole case of Azure apples 🍎? You get to work! 😂 I cut up 62 apples and made 3 apple pie fillings and 1 apple crisp to freeze, plus I still have another apple crisp to make this evening! Future me is going to be SO glad I did all this prep work when I want a homemade dessert without all the work! Now tell me, what would YOU make with a case of apples? 👇

We just coated the deck, and now it has to cure for 24 to 48 hours before the dogs can get back out there! 😳🐶🐶🐶 Tell me why keeping two Goldendoodles off the deck might be harder than coating the deck in the first place! 😂🤦‍♀️ Wish us luck! We’re going to need it!

Well, this soap batch did NOT go according to plan! 😂 The soap started thickening way faster than I expected because of a new fragrance I used, so I had to ditch my original plan, get it in the mold, and hope for the best! 😳 Sometimes you just have to roll with it. But how did it turn out??

Two deck boards. Half a day. Nailed it… eventually.

Your freezer’s hiding a treasure! Those blueberries deserve a spot on that cheesecake. A Blueberry Topping is a great way to use them. Recipe at end to screenshot or save this post.
