Hi Everyone -

My name is Heather and along with a lot of help from my DH Jim, we have a
lovely 1800 gal goldfish pond fed by a 15' stream from a very small header
pond that we built two years ago. After really enjoying the visits from
frogs last summer, we dug a second pond (at about 800 gal) this spring
devoted to the frogs. It's very woodsy, with floating logs, pollywogs, lots
of duckweed and a few mosquito fish. Pics at
http://community.webshots.com/user/heathersmyth Our property is nearly four
acres of hardwood trees. In the back there are vernal ponds. A lot of our
pond plantings and decor are found on scavenger hunts in the surrounding
woods. Nice decayed logs, moss for between rocks, even blue flag! Kept
aquariums for years but do enjoy the ponds much more. Some of our original
39 cent feeder fish are now 6 - 7" long and beautiful.

We are early 50's, with five grown children, one married. No other pets
currently. Lost our cat a few years ago and DH says "No more until you are
retired".

I really enjoy this friendly group and really appreciate the knowledgeable
help found here!

Just wondering if rec.ponds ever does a roll call every now and then?

Just to see where everyone is from and what other interests and hobbies
they may have?
