Also, so those on dial-up don't have to wait 5 minutes or more for them to download. :-) If you need a photo program to do that there are several free ones available. Ask on alt.comp.freeware.

There are three ponds on the property, one in front, one by the house (the one I'm fussing with) and one out back. The middle pond is only about 100 feet from the house.

It's just so far back I doubt I could ever get power or anything back there. It's got a bunch of yellow cannas growing in the water there, turtles (big ones) love to hang out there, frogs own the place (you can hear them all day, more of them at night, of course, but you can listen to a good number any time of day, even in the morning), and fish. I don't know much about fish, but aside from the little mosquito eaters there must be some fairly large fish in there. There's an old hand cast net left by a previous owner, and there's a system of floats tied to some cable that goes to who knows what in the back corner of the pond. I tried to pull the cable up one day when I was out in my kayak. I used what is known as a "bottom brace" with my kayak paddle so I could give the cable a pretty good tug, but I couldn't budge it. I've seen some pretty big splashes in the water, but never could see what made them. The middle pond I can get power to. Of course, previous owners here also found they could get garbage to it. And they did. You wouldn't believe what was in there. Aside from that chair you can see there was an old bar-b-que stand, an old metal desk with metal, rusted drawers all over the place, stuff we couldn't identify, all kinds of things. Now it's a big mud puddle, but the frogs are already coming back in droves. Not only can I hear them at night, they leap from the banks into the water as I go fussing around the pond. The front pond is far enough away from the house that you can't really see it. Besides, one half of it is in rather unpleasant swampy, overgrown boggy, wooded land, so I think I'll just leave it be. Still, it's the one that has the cattails and lilies, and, of course, lots of frogs. Galen Hekhuis NpD, JFR, GWA We are the CroMagnon of the future |
