The pond is in Monroe county near Bloomington. Don't know about it being God's country but it's home. I love to travel and get out of town every chance I get but this is home. I'd love to live on a big pond like say...the Atlantic, but not happenin.
There has not been enough rain to fill this pond yet. Lake Monroe has been up quite a bit. I'm not complaining but we haven't had hardly any snow this winter....and I love it this way. Hate snow. I have an early daffodil that is budding. It'll probably bloom in the next week or so if the weather keeps up.
I agree about the Bass Pro or Cabela's. Or West Marine. Cabela's bought land up near Greenwood a few years ago but decided not to build when the economy started going bad. Still hoping.
Guess we're going to get thunderstorms tonight, maybe a few drops will fall in that pond. Planning a trip to Menards tomorrow.
