You just need to be observant when you're near it.<br /><br />I would definitely NOT put it too near your house.

One day when we were visiting, they told us about a big black snake that had taken up residence near the water's edge and built a nest. That's when I thought "Big pond in backyard - no thank you." :)Thomas Generaziohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536611327617373090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-84921786827439373992014-06-12T20:47:29.709-05:002014-06-12T20:47:29.709-05:00For your sake I hope they have switched to a very ...For your sake I hope they have switched to a very casual dress code in the heat. My AF friend told me that when the British were stationed in Houston before ac was used in government office buildings, they drew combat pay because it was so hot and humid that no one wanted to be in Houston. <br /><br />I do know that ponds cannot be built just anywhere. If they are lower, they will "turn over" and everything in them will die. The water is nasty and stinky. A pond would be sooo nice.

Thankfully the neighbours have a huge dam that we can see from the house so we pretend this is a lake and talk about our 'water views'. LOL. We do dream of some day having a dam in our gully with the driveway crossing along the dam wall and either a small island in the middle with a little bridge or a mini wharf. We'd have to win Lotto big time for all of that but you gotta dream.FionaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09044498829299165675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-28030698473657022062014-06-12T15:02:59.637-05:002014-06-12T15:02:59.637-05:00Very pretty.
