The Pond isn't much of a pond--but I love it. It could use some work around the outside, maybe a path sometime. Certainly a couple new beds. The stars of the pond are the goldfish. My sister Chloe on one of her visits when Mom was here put a few goldfish from Meyers in the pond. My thoughts at the time--"no way will they survive that--especially with our Ohio winters." Wrong! They have survived and flourished though I don't see them much except in the early spring. But there are hundreds of them. I think they go deep in late spring because the "hunters" show up--herons and kingfishers. Oh, there are flowers here, too. Tons of daffodils in the spring. A stupendous pussy willow--tree size. Redbuds, crab apples, Rose of Sharon, a lily or two, camassia (wild hyacinth), hibiscus, sneeze weed, yellow-flag iris. I need to get another bench so I can sit here and enjoy the serenity. Several water lilies--I have to replace them once in awhile when the muskrats find them.
Ah, country living.
The Sentinel guards the pond.
