Bevi waving me into the kitchen this morning and pointing towards the pond. Our heron was back! Maybe it is not the same heron but we usually have a yearly heron visit. There he stood patiently frogging, waiting for his breakfast to swim by. That pond has provided us with so much entertainment and enjoyment over the years. In the spring we are visited by Merganser, Mallards and Wood ducks on their travel home. A month ago I looked out to see a river otter in there having a big ole' time. We recently had a turtle hatching and now have 4 little turtles swimming around looking for a treat of bread or mealworms when we walk down. The dogs will wade in if it's too hot out as will the horses on occasion. The 5 year old grandson drags everyone down there so we can watch him try his hand (literally) at frogging. Who knew a little spring fed pond in the woods would bring us such joy.
