Mother Natures Before and After

When we purchased our country home we made our decision based on the potential of the property.


If the house and land were 100% perfect it would have been way out of our price range.


My husband and I took a risk and in one area it paid off! The best part this improvement didn't cost a thing.


This was our pond when we bought the house. Completely bone dry.

Can you even see it?

It looks like a hill. This is a photo I took this morning. It's full! I couldn't get too close because of all the rain. The total size of the pond is about an acre. It's about 5 ft deep at this point.
I'm very excited after several good rains to have our pond holding water. This is the major reason we picked this property.

We had visions of a little paddle boat and the kids fishing in our backyard.

I'm like a kid on Christmas morning! I was so excited last night when it kept raining and raining.

That's really neat! I'd love to have a pond in the backyard.

The house I lived on growing up used to have some "ponds" pop after a hurricane or a crazy summer of rain. My favorites memories were my Dad paddling my brother and I around our yard :)

cool! We have two large ponds in the back pasture, and one very small come and go small pond in the front. The back 2 we stock with fish. The front one is more decrotive, and even if it is empty it has cattails and plenty of frogs...
