Once More, to the Pond! -- by Gracie

This is where I came in!

Buster and Persephone and Bailey
adopted me last summer--
with the help of my human mom.

My first memories were of the magical
place they took me.

The Pond!

Now I'm back!

And it's as breathtakingly beautiful as I
remember it.

Mr. Loon was cruising about
in his customary spot to greet me.

The tadpoles scurried around...

Evening approached, and the wind died down.

Trout rose.

The vexatious water pump was connected,
and it worked.

Two adolescent bald eagles came to fish.

And I remembered being a puppy one year ago!

The trip back was pleasant, but I wanted to stay.

Next time...

Your friend,

Gracie
