I really have no excuse for neglecting this blog for so long. We are in the midst of leaving this house near New Orleans and living full time in Mountain View, Arkansas as we both retire. The house there is smaller and easier to take care of. And it has a pond. A natural one where turtles live, deer and other critters drink out of. Occasionally a cow wanders in for a taste as well. It's free range country and our 6.5 acres is open to all. I love it. It will be difficult to leave our house of 6 years after Katrina and my home of 40 years, but I love Arkansas and the lovely small townness of Mountain View.
The pond here will not stay. I originally built it as a temporary pond. It's a huge blue pot sitting in a round Rubbermaid horse trough. I will make the trip with me one of these times when I drive up there. I will have photos when it gets set up.
Have a wonderful time getting your pond up and ready for spring. This is such an exciting time of year.
Time to time musings about backyard garden pond building, keeping, troubleshooting. Questions and answers from pond keepers and builders. Occasional excerpts from the pondlady's book, "A Practical Guide to Building and Maintaining your Pond."

I think the time has come to get off my lazy butt and start to post in this blog. Things sure have changed on Blogger since I made my last half hearted attempt.
And things in my life have changed as well. First of all I have written a book.
You can find it on Amazon here:
A Practical Guide to Building and Caring for a Pond
Or you can find it on my website at
pondlady.com
I think it's a great book (of course). It's downloadable so I could keep the price down. The best part is that it's mapped out, so you can click on any subject and get the answer without paging through the whole book.
I will try to keep up with this blog better and we can watch spring arrive together.
