There is so much to explore...sights, smells, insects, birds....and so much to feel - the sun, gentle breezes, soft soil and grass.Kitchen Benchtopshttp://www.kaystone.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274925030972014073.post-85566160847768892322011-07-19T06:45:23.193+01:002011-07-19T06:45:23.193+01:00I have to laugh because our garden pond is the loc...I have to laugh because our garden pond is the local watering hole for the cats in our neighborhood.

Finding tadpoles was unlike anything I've ever experienced. I had to buy lilies and sprinkle daily with water and fret. The cats don't care. And now the pollywogs are turning into air breathers. I tell you - it's a miracle.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602307806784416609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274925030972014073.post-5520114965207628252011-07-06T14:51:52.669+01:002011-07-06T14:51:52.669+01:00My pond is a magnet to my cats.

But essentially the same instructions apply.<br /><br />Just don't make the mistake I made and put fish in it. Now I need to drain the pond and get all those darned fishies out of it as they produce too much nitrogen and my pond is choked with algae because of it.

Frogs sometimes show up and of course there are many dragon flies. I just love it. Our cat Noah finds this place very interesting too.<br />Take care<br />AlexAlex aus dem Gwundergartenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345838066384134549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274925030972014073.post-30520345914011102822011-07-01T10:06:30.246+01:002011-07-01T10:06:30.246+01:00Every garden should have a wildlife pond.

It attracts dragonflies, birds, foxes and cats to drink at it. My own cats prefer it to their water bowl.Arabella Sockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936438011119860497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274925030972014073.post-8312507235870902032011-06-30T22:23:56.461+01:002011-06-30T22:23:56.461+01:00Its a lovely pond!
