By the Pond





                   Happy weekend!

                        I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
                         We have lost most of our snow here but
                                   we still have ice in the pond .....we need a few
                            days of warmer weather before it melts.

                                 The photo above was an early morning shot
                                with a mist rising off the pond.....a relaxing
place to sit for awhile.






                                                                 Iris growing around the pond.


                                                         A peaceful evening by the pond.
                                                             A spring shot with a young
                                                             crab apple tree in bloom.
                                                           As soon as the ice starts to melt
                                                           in the pond we have a pair of
                                                           Canada geese and a couple of ducks
                                                            that return to nest by the pond.
                                                            It is fun to watch them grow.
                                                            We planted some lupins around the pond.


                        Our Boathouse reflected in the pond.


       I took this shot  the middle of
       April a year or two ago when
we had a late snowfall.

                                              I love when the pond is ice free but we
                                                       have either a late snow fall or an early
                                                       winter snow fall.

                                                       I enjoy seeing the beauty of the pond in
                                                       all the seasons and watching the wildlife.

                                                                      I hope you enjoyed relaxing
                                                                      by our pond with me today!

    I so love your blog and all your photography. My husband Cyril MacPhee was born and raised in Charlottetown but the military took him away from home and now he lives here in North Bay Ontario, my home town. I show him your pictures and he says I am coveting your home and property and I say it's a little piece of heaven right here in Canada. We still have so much snow in Northern Ontario this year. Snow is slowly receding from my flower gardens. I can't wait to get my fingers in the soil. Thank you for responding to my previous message about when you might have your garden tour this year. As it turns out my husband has just started a new job (he is retired from military now)and won't get vacation time this summer as a new employee so we likely won't be able to travel to PEI this year. Maybe next year! I was wondering how you keep your gardens watered and so beautiful. Do you let the rain take care of it or do you have a sprinkling system? Also do you fertilize your plants? Look forward to hearing from you.
    Blessings,
    Nancy MacPhee
