Sometimes, I think, people are just plain lazy...they just throw things about rather than take care of them properly. Perhaps, since they thought they had lots of land, others were invited to just give it a toss onto the land, too. Thank you, Kim and Pete, for making such a lovely place on Tassie. Five years since the pictures that show Maisie. Five years in the life of a dog...such a long time. She only shows a bit of growing older.LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612629420194084787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-27455287176887885072015-03-18T08:10:10.831+11:002015-03-18T08:10:10.831+11:00You are very sweet, Karen...thank you!

I have just had an early morning meander around the pond and picked a HUGE bunch of sun-filled Dahlias. Flowers warm my soul...amongst other things. ;)<br /><br />I did laugh at your comments re your sons and the frogs in the bird bath. How cute. I actually picked a Dahlia just before and a frog was sitting on the leaf smiling at me. He was completely unperturbed....he sat there for ages looking at me, obviously knowing I was no threat. I gently put him amongst some other leaves. Thank you once again, Dee for your lovely comments. Have the most wonderful day over there in your picture postcard li'l world!

Wishing for a walk and sit next to the pond though! I admire his tenacity and commitment! The picture of him with mud on his pants, as a mom of all boys, made me smile!<br /><br />Please tell him a jealous soul in the US is absolutely in love with the scenery he has sculpted from the earth! All that time and planning and work! Beautiful and soothing to a snow bound quilter! Enjoy and tell him our neighborhood had no frogs until my boys brought home a box of them to live in our bird bath!Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367663127351652530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-2039526245331682302015-02-24T23:32:31.930+11:002015-02-24T23:32:31.930+11:00Thank you, Heather.

Your Golden Pond is absolutely beautiful, what a wonderful place to just sit & soak it all up & enjoy life. Just perfect I think :-) Your husband has done the most amazing job of it. We put a pond in one winter .... it was wet muddy & pouring with rain & I told my husband to STOP digging, thats big enough. Now in hindsight, we both wish we had made it double the size that we did. A pity I hadnt stayed inside & not said anything - it might've turned out as big as yours. x0x0Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08301647145550214950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-11332933538782986162015-02-23T03:51:50.571+11:002015-02-23T03:51:50.571+11:00Absolutely idyllic!

It will be a source of joy for you both for many, many years. I'll bet there's more wildlife attracted to those refreshing waters than just frogs! My son has a little pond in our yard that he dug with his dad's help. It grew from a summertime science project. A couple of years ago he added a trickling waterfall. I love it ... we have a bench set beside our pond too, and I will now think of you sitting by your pond while I sit by mine ;)<br />Happy weekend to you & your husband! <br />WendySeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-45201353671454757122015-02-22T06:22:11.821+11:002015-02-22T06:22:11.821+11:00Glorious!
