In our backyard, we have a pond. It’s a cement pond, as Jed Clampets from the Beverly Hillbillies would say, but it’s as good as any regular pond. As I grew up near the water, I always enjoy it. There is a fountain in the middle of the pond which sprays the water up in the air all day long. It cuts off sometime in the night and then it seems really quiet.
I always enjoy the pond and it seems to calm me down. There is something about water that makes me feel at home. I enjoy the animals that make their home in the water and they seem to get along together. The ducks stay together and the turtles float around with their heads stuck out of the water. You may see a snake once in a while, but don’t be alarmed as they usually go on their way. I am going to try a little fishing this year; I’ll let you know how that works out.
