It's amazing how things change here on Quimby Pond. Years ago I thought that time had not changed Quimby Pond. One can sit on a porch and imagine times gone by. Thirty years ago, there were no motorboats on the pond. Today, there are still no motorboats. Thirty years ago, the loon's wail call echoed across the pond. Today, the loon wails and yodels continue. Thirty years ago the fishing was fantastic (so they tell me). Today, the fishing is still good.

Today, we're a little more worried about the ecology of the pond. A little algae showed up last summer and we're trying to figure out just what is possible to do about it. And to determine what's best for the pond. Don't get me wrong, this is still the most beautiful place on earth and I wouldn't trade this place for any other.

The photo to the left is the north shoreline last week.







The photo to the right is early morning today (October 13, 2009). Mother Nature had delivered a few inches of snow overnight.



And by this afternoon most of the snow had melted and a little fog rollled in.

No, I wouldn't trade this place for any other.
