Benefits of living on a retaining pond.

Most summer nights you can hear the pessimistic mumbles under my breath about the "joys" of having a pond in our backyard. You see, frogs, crickets and gardener snakes aren't exactly my thing. Last night was a rare exception, however. A family of ducks made their way from our backyard to the deflated waterslide in our front yard. Even I can admit they're cute.
