I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome. I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop. For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool.    
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

Dear Lynn,
How lovely; we just gave the fish back to my mom that she gave us last year. A pond would be MUCH better than a tank! Yours look very content.
Love,
Marqueta
p.s. I found this blog post about Veronica persica and thought you might like it~ http://whisperingearth.wordpress.com/2010/05/18/speedwell-my-belle-may-blog-party/
Marqueta, I love my little pond. It is small (my neighbor has a HUGE pond) but I love it. In my case, it’s easier to care for and very cozy!
Thanks so much for the link. I look forward to reading that. I just skimmed it but have already realized now why I see so many varied blooms in the yard.
Thank you!
Lynn
My son would like to have a fish pond in the garden and I often said no. But after having seen those pictures; which look so quiet, I think I’m going to say yes…
Holly Day, I think you would love it! The key for me has been keeping it small. Really. They can turn into large, expensive burdens, but mine is small. I won’t lie, I dream of a large goldfish pond, but so far I have been able to care for a small one very easily and the fish do well. I guess climate makes a difference. Thank you so much for your comment!
