IS THIS A DREAM OR COULD IT BE HEAVEN
Welcome to my website.
This site was created because I love Groton Pond. It is my passion. I look upon the pond, as precious and dear.
As a young child my parents brought me here and my heart has never left since that time. I know that my spirit will live on in this incredibly beautiful place, long after I am gone. For you folks out there that love this pond and everything it stands for, this site is for you too.
Some are extremely lucky to own a cottage, camp or live here year round. For those of you who have visited the pond and stayed with your Grandparents or camped with your folks or friends, this is for you too. Perhaps you haven't been here in years and are not able to
come back. This gives you a chance to visit at the touch of
your finger tips .
Take this opportunity to reminisce. Close your eyes for one moment and listen. Do you remember the soothing sounds of the peepers, the lapping of the water on the shoreline, or perhaps the soft hooting sounds of the loons ?
A few things have changed over the years, but the pond is
just as wonderful as it ever was. Those of us who spend much time here, do pretty much the same things as folks did years ago.
We play in the water with all our water toys, pick berries, fish, swim or just sit and read a book and relax. We like to take naps, enjoy a good paddle or a motorboat ride and a cookout with family or friends..
The pond has it's busy times, but it's always been that way, especially weekends. There are quiet times as well. Peace and tranquility can still be found.
All of us are Stewards of Groton Pond and we respect each other, our neighbors, the wildlife and nature. "We care and take care". It is hoped that anyone who comes to visit will do the same.
Please sign the guest book at the end of the site. I would love
to hear your comments and suggestions. There are several pages and something for everyone. Photo's, poems, recipes, handy tips , news of things happening on the pond and my own cartoon series, "Pondtoons".
Take a short shoreline tour with me in my boat around the pond. I will start from the south end and ride part way down the West Shore.
It will be fun. I think you will enjoy your visit and the ride !
