| The Pond |
| Our local water gardening shop hosts an annual pond tour for a different charity each year. This year, 350 tickets were sold with the proceeds going to the Canadian Mental Health Society. Ten local ponds are featured and ours was one of them. It was a perfect day weatherwise and we had a wonderful time with the hundreds of tourists wandering through our yard that day. Here are some of the pictures taken later that day . Hope you enjoy "YOUR TOUR" |
