The pond at night

The next door neighbors had a pond when I was growing up, and I always thought there was nothing more peaceful than the sounds of a pond at night, with the lullabies of frogs set to the music of the strings as played by the crickets. Tonight, when I let the dogs out before bed, I heard the sweet symphony again in my own backyard...and it felt even more like home than ever:)

  1. Here's to the Jeffreis' pond amphitheaters...they did provide many hours of concerts! One night they inspired Mr. Combs to share with me one of the funniest stories I ever heard about the time he tried to get into the catfish farm business with a couple of ponds he had before that became a profitable enterprise. I can't remember all the details, but I remember laughing until I hurt as he sat up on that old tractor grinning and chuckling as he embellished that story well into the evening...ahh, great memories!

  3. Such a great fixture of my childhood. Perhaps that - and the lake across the street in Peachtree City_ is why I feel the need to be close to water wherever I live :)
