Our farm has a very small pond on it, and it has slowly grown smaller and smaller over many, many years and my hopes are to have it re-dug in the spring. I can just picture it all finished and full to the top...a place for the birds and animals to enjoy along with me. Perhaps a nice gazebo next to it, a place to sit and dream. I think I will pond(er) on this idea. :-)
Sumac goes un-noticed all year until late fall, when it's deep crimson leaves add to the beauty of the season.
I love the seed pods on the Milkweed, each one bursts open and sends off it's fluffy seeds to the wind. Every year I'm fascinated by the various plants, how they grow, how they flower, how they fruit and how they propagate. Works of art, each one.
