One of the main reasons we liked this home was that we fell in love with the lot it was on It's situated on 8/10 acre, and includes a natural pond.  It also includes a large raised garden in back.

A picture of our "front side" yard.  Here there are shade and fruit trees, places to sit, raspberry bushes and flower gardens.  Click the picture to see Cathy and Bailey playing in the background.

A view of part of our back yard, with Cathy and Bailey still playing.  By late fall when this picture was taken, our pond (in the background) had obtained a bright green coating.  For 2003 we retained a pond service to help with this condition and keep the pond in better shape.

Here's a more recent picture of the pond, showing the fountain  we added in April 2003.  In the background is the back of our house, and also Bailey.  The waterfowl don't seem to mind the fountain at all.

Another lovely view of the pond.

Yet another view (can you tell we enjoy the pond?)  Geese, ducks, and other critters have been frequent visitors.  We've had baby geese and their parents come and go.  All the wildlife has been fun and fascinating to watch.

A view of the pond from our freshly tilled garden.  In 2004 we changed the nozzle on the fountain so it looks a little fuller now.

One more view of the pond, with the fountain and part of our back yard. 

Here's a picture from fall 2002.  As was said above, the pond had "greened over" with duckweed.  Ducks kept residence until it iced over for the winter, though.  You can see them to the left if you click the photo
