ABC Wednesday - W stands for Water!




W stands for Whale . . .

Whales lives in Water . . .

Water begins with  
 !!!
      
Speaking of Whales, do you remember "Simple Simon?"   
Here's one stanza...





Simple Simon went a fishing
for to catch a WHALE!
But the only water he could find
was in his mother's pail.


Now that we've found ourselves discussing pails, and water, and fishing, and whales . . . consider the new little "pail" I've acquired in my backyard...

and Ricky and Fred!  

What do you think?
Which pond do you favor?


I'll meet you out back with the fishing poles!  :-)

  2. Great W post. My post was also water, but too much water. My wife would like a water feature in our back yard but it sounds like work to me.
