Default Does you pond change like a baby?

I'm 29 years old and all of my friends are at that age where they are
pregnant and popping out babies left and right. My social life is declining
but that's another story. Anyways all the moms don't work and they always
tell me that they could never go back to work because their babies change
daily and they'd be afraid to miss something. I understood because my pond
changes daily too. Now my pond isn't in my back yard so I don't get to watch
it every day like most one the group. It's at some property that I own about
20 miles north of me. It's a rec pond that I built this year so I don't have
to watch it as closely as an ornamental pond but I go there a few times a
week and on weekends to work on the property and to check on the pond and
make sure it's still there. It's great how new ponders come here and post
their progress and we all sit here and read it and think back and remember
how much in awe we were when we were digging our little hole in the world.
Here's how mine went:

1. Man that's a whole lot of trees over there.
2. Man that's a big pile of trees they ripped out.
3. Man that's a BIG hole in the ground.
4. Man that's a BIG puddle.
5. I wonder where I can buy dragon flies to stock the pond.
6. MAN WHERE DID ALL THIS WILDLIFE COME FROM.
7. WOW the bluegills are spawning. They weren't supposed to do that until
next year.
8. Wow 2 rosy reds really do make 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,004 after about
a day.
9. Where are all my rosy reds and how'd my bass get so big?
10. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT.
11. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT.
12. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT.
13. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT.
14. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT.

Check out my pond if you get a chance. http://www.wildlifereserve.org
