I'm still waiting to be asked on my first date.

Could there be a connection here? Hmmmmm.... :-)

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?

My name is Lydia and I'm just south of Seattle, Washington. My little 500
gallon pond is just a mere 9 months old. I live in a brand new house with
my husband Adam, 3 kitty cat overlords, and 32 gallons of aquarium fish (to
appease the 3 furry bosses). In the short time we've had our pond finished,
we've enjoyed tadpoles turned frogs, singing adult frogs at night, flowering
water lily, pickerel rush, and water hyacinths, birds coming to drink, and
relaxing to the sounds of the waterfall. It's already made itself well
worth the hard pickaxe work involved in digging the hole. I rarely have
any advice to offer here, but I continue to absorb the info. others offer
and enjoy visiting the group when I can.

I'm 57, primary interest is birdwatching but like all things "natural"!

And, a note to Bill: on behalf of all of us who should try, at least, to
tell people what they mean to us while they are still here -- "hear here"
(I think that's how the toast goes).

A number of years ago now, in my little dorm room I used to have a poster on
my wall. "I do my thing and you do yours, and if by chance we meet - it's
wonderful". A bit naive?- thats me. Nonetheless though the poster is long
since gone the sentiment has remained. We are meeting and I do think it's
wonderful. Keep em coming!

btw - The poster was of a woman cradling her young baby, sitting on the edge
of forest, in beautiful green field. I feel sure if the camera had paned
back just a little there would have been a pond in the foreground

For what it's worth, I just want to go on record as acknowledging that your
"roll call" post has enabled me to learn more about my fellow pond-people
than I have ever known about them.

I find myself overwhelmed by the replies to your post. (I was used to posts
on genealogy mailing lists, where the "roll call" is the particular
genealogy line one is searching -- and BTW I would be honored if I could
help anyone with tips about genealogy research), but this......... this roll
call is special.

Thank you again, matrix.

You said it so perfectly.

I lurk in another group (Rec.Auto.Ford.Mustang??), I would not dare reveal
any information about myself in that group, knowing very well it will be use
to assault me later.

Anyway, our pond group here is so loving, so supporting that I did not
hesitate to share.

Matrix, thank you for getting us started with the roll call!

BV, I look forward to meeting you when I come up to Baltimore in a three
weeks. Warn the neighbors!
