Jump down, turn around and it’s Waterfall Wednesday again! Todays waterfall is a night shot of a beautifully lit Waterfall at night, in honor of this weekends Moonlight Pond Tour!

If your like me, you work all day and have much more time to enjoy your Waterfall in the evening and at night. That’s why I always install lights on my Water Features. That way you get 2 ponds for the price of one – The Daytime Pond AND the Nighttime Pond 🌕
Come to the Moonlight Pond Tour this Saturday and you will see why the night pond is my Favorite!
Have a wonderful #Waterfallwednesday!

We finally had some much needed rain! My lawn and gardens certainly appreciated it… Looking at the weeks forecast, there is a chance of rain almost daily, but temps are gonna settle into the 80’s for what appears to be a mostly normal August! It’s a very pleasant morning 🌞 Locust in the background, partly sunny and mild. The birds are singing, my oven is preheating, & I’m drinking coffee ☕️ trying to capture a thought 💭

Last night I started getting serious with my Moonlight Pond Tour preparation… Checking lights, adjusting things, trying a few new things out… Please let me know what you think so far 😊






It was HOT last night though! 92 degrees and super humid at 11pm 😯 When we got through Jo and I were both soaked and exhausted 🥱 It’s a good feeling to me 😊

Great end to a great week! It’s been hot, but it’s about to change…
“Seen from above, the canopy of oak and make and pine is pierced by the pond, which looks back at you like some green eye, knowing and ancient. The air above the pond dives into clefts of coolness, then rises up at the warmth of the margins. Down the path, filigrees of blackflies and mosquitos dance in the heat waves given off by men and women and their domestic fires. Joyous bats dart about.”
~ Grace Dane Mazur
