Side YardA picture of our "front side" yard. Here there are shade and fruit trees, places to sit, raspberry bushes and flower gardens. Click the picture to see Cathy and Bailey playing in the background.

Back YardA view of part of our back yard, with Cathy and Bailey still playing. By late fall when this picture was taken, our pond (in the background) had obtained a bright green coating. Starting in 2003 we retained a pond service to help with this condition and keep the pond in better shape.

Pond FountainHere's a picture of the pond, showing the fountain we added in April 2003. In the background is the back of our house, and also Bailey. The waterfowl actually seem to kind of enjoy the fountain. We changed the nozzle of the fountain in 2004 which gives it a better pattern, and helps keep it from clogging.

PondAnother lovely view of the pond.

The Pond and GeeseYet another view (can you tell we enjoy the pond?) Geese, ducks, and other critters have been frequent visitors. We've had baby geese and their parents come and go. All the wildlife has been fun and fascinating to watch.

Pond and GardenA view of the pond from our freshly tilled garden. In 2004 we changed the nozzle on the fountain so it looks a little fuller now.

Another view of the pond, with the fountain and part of our back yard.

Green PondHere's a picture from fall 2002. As was said above, the pond had "greened over" with duckweed. Ducks kept residence until it iced over for the winter, though. You can see them to the left if you click the photo
