This summer, the lilies in the pond have been beautiful. Almost every day another blossom opens up. Sitting by the pond has also been delightful too. Almost every evening I sit by the pond and enjoy it's charm. Everything by the pond has come together to make it a cool evening spot to have a glass of water.
The fish are trained to come immediately to the surface to get their food. It is surprising how much pleasure we get by watching their antics as they scoot around the pond. Walt put the fish in the pond a week before we arrived. When we got here, they were still frightened and hid in the plantings, but Mary Frances trained them to come to the surface to eat. She fed them small amounts several times a day and they got used to her voice. Now they immediately come to eat when they hear voices. Hurrah to Mary Frances.
Right now the foliage around the pond is lovely but at the beginning of the summer the weeds were abundant and the bushes had overgrown their space. Rita took on the project. Now there are no weeds in sight, and with Ken's direction, she severely cut back the shrubs and trees. Now the area around the pons is neat and today and the foliage has been well shaped. The whole area is pleasing to the eye. Hate off to Rita.
Every afternoon, when I have finished my walk, I sit by the pond and enjoy myself drinking my glass of water. The area was quite ugly when we purchased our home but now it is a small place of beauty. Now we hope the 6 fish survive the winter and will be ready for summer 2016.
