Bought a pizza and a soda, drove 30 miles to the pond, and sat on the tailgate for a couple of hours. Feeding pizza crust to the fish and just took in the pond. No thoughts of what needed to be done with muddy water, plants, water chemistry, stocking, or any other projects. It was glorious as the sun set and the pond settled in for the night. I’m much better at planning and scheming, than taking time to appreciate what has been accomplished bit by bit. Many thanks to this forum and all the contributors for helping me along the way. Hopefully generations of my family will get to enjoy and engage in this long term project.
