Homestead Scenes ~ 12
Rose Petal’s daughter Evenstar bringing you Week Twelve of Homestead Scenes:
~Fun at the Pond~
Several weeks ago our family had a chance to go swimming in our pond for the first time! We had a blast! The water was nice and warm near the top, but cool and refreshing underneath. We all enjoyed splashing about in the shallows, but a few of us more adventurous ones also swam out into the middle where it is quite deep.
Pulling out grass to destroy the would-be water snake habitat. The pond is really high right now due to all the rain we were having several weeks ago. In a dry season a lot of this would be part of the shore.
And here’s the parting shot.
Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for your visit and come back again!

No better way to cool off on hot days.
Definitely!
How fun! Our pond isn’t deep enough for swimming but we’re hoping to have it dug out soon. I’ve enjoyed reading about your homestead.
Thank you! Good luck with your pond!
Looks like a lot of fun! That’s about the only thing missing on our small homestead…a water source other than our well
Yes! We are so thankful for our pond.
Thanks for sending a little joy our way. I remember splashing around in a pond myself a time or two, when I was young. Looks like everyone had a great time.
We sure did have fun, even though it took me a little while to get used to the thought of swimming in a murky pond!
