Things we do not speak of…

The pond was a mess last Fall,

after the ducks had partied all Summer long in it.

It had a less then pleasant odor, and was not exactly a pretty sight to sit next to.

The boys get all the credit.

They pumped out and hauled away buckets and wheelbarrows’ full of

stuff we do not speak of.

A new Water Lily is sitting in the center,

and fish will soon swim again.

All is pretty at the pond again.

No Duck’s Allowed!

Oh so pretty Clematis

This plant was a stick or two in a pot–

found on a end of year clearance sale.

Marked “Clematis”–no variety given.

I gave it a home, tucked up next to Rabbit Run Cottage.

Some patience was required.
