What was originally Bickley’s Pond is right behind our house. Although I’ve only known it as Sterling Lake (as it has been named since a developer bought the property and, well, developed it), I still can’t get used to the name. Bickley’s is much better.
I have washed many a dish looking out at that pond through a large kitchen window I insisted be drawn into our house plans. There is always something going on: the diligent beaver criss-crossing, criss-crossing the water; a Mama and a Daddy protectively raising their all-we-do-is-eat Canada Goose babies; the renegade childless goose couple that’s always causing a stir.
Tonight, just before dark, my sweet husband took me, my camera, and our precious little dog Little Bit for a paddle around the pond. I love getting out on that water, discussing vitally important matters like how far the water level is down, or exactly how Tim lost a lure in an errant cast last week. I love how it changes the perspective of my life.
It was the perfect way to ease into the sunset of Day Four.
