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...


 Meet Lucy and Ethel (below)

The photo below shows a closeup of the "bog area," which contains miniature cattails . . .


and Ricky and Fred!  

What do you think?
Which pond do you favor?


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

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.

Hi Muffy! It's not a big pond. I purchased a pond form and dug the hole! ;-)

Hi Richies, yes it's a little work, but it's much more fun!
