The Swimmin’ Is Easy

As the saying goes, it’s good weather for ducks. But instead of rain, we’re talking heat and humidity. Landscape gurus Lorie and Michael Kinler of Redenta’s Landscape Design eschewed a regular water feature in favor of a galvanized stock tank, complete with a pool pump and sited in their shaded backyard. The sound of trickling water meshes nicely with bird songs and provides a soothing backdrop to an evening on the patio with a cold beverage. If rubber ducks could talk, this one would say: Come on in, the water’s fine.
