Whether it's because I'm a water sign or because I grew up in a city with one of the longest shorelines in the world, I've always loved water. (And this despite being a bad swimmer.) I like looking at water most of all, and I think sunlight on water is the most magical thing ever.
So I've always gravitated to homes near water, and when we lived on the Pine River in our previous home, it was the happiest I've ever been--with the view (not the rising cost of the home insurance for that place). I was glad our current house has a tiny pond, but I've been wanting to enlarge it forever. And this week, we finally did!
We dug in a not-straight line and around existing trees and shrubs, and it turned out a bit... crescent shaped? heart shaped?

Oh Maya! How lovely and wonderful! I love looking at water too (and swimming, when it's hot). My parents live on a lake and it's just so peaceful.
How wonderful! You'll be so happy to have a larger pond, I know. And it will be a magnet for wildlife.
We have a small, deep pond and waterfall in our back yard. I love it. It's a haven for birds and squirrels. We used to keep fish, but they were constantly under attack by raccoons, hawks, and herons. So, no more fish, but still a lovely pond with the sound of moving water.
How cool.
Congrats.
I love living in a river town because I just walk a couple of blocks and there is the water! It's amazing!
Water is life in so many ways!
