.Ponds

. . .Pond above the house. A natural spring coming from the upper portion of the property feeds our large pond, a tear-drop-shaped feature about 65 ft by 30 ft. This pond is 7.5 feet in its deepest region, with gently-sloping sides. The spring stops flowing in August - but the pond dries only partially. . .As naturalists, we've enjoyed watching the progression of plants and animals that have taken up residence in and around the pond. We've had green-wing teals and a common goldeneye visiting the larger pond this year in the spring. Kingfishers and river otters occassionally feed there. . .A small boat can be put in the pond so that children can paddle about there with adult supervision (please notify us if you would like this to be available). . .A second smaller pond is near the front entrance to the house.
