I've been hanging around this pond off and on since the early 70's. I guess one of my regrets was not taking an interest in it sooner. When I was in my late teens, I wanted a house with a white picket fence built around this pond, but life took me in a different direction and I've just returned to this land for my retirement years. The pond sat here growing up without any maintenance. It's completely surrounded by trees, but I really look at the trees as a plus. I just wish there wasn't quite so many. I'll do as best as I can with the resources I have available, but mostly I'll just enjoy it for what it is.
