SUCH A GREAT DAY

This is such a perfect day! The sign announcing the restoration of the Walkers Pond was completed today. We are grateful to Bill Squicciarini for the frame he made to give it stability. Like everything he does, it is perfect. Charlie Herbert and Bill dug the post-holes; poured cement…that sign is there no matter how hard the wind blows this winter.
Charlie also looked at the pump that brings water into the pond. I'm convinced Charlie can fix anything. He had water coming into the pond, if only for a little while. We will have good bay water coming into the pond just to freshen it up a tad. We really can't put in too much because we need that shoreline exposed to allow big equipment to place the sand around the shoreline.
I had an email from the Maryland Coastal Bays saying that we have met their requirements and we will be receiving a check next week from them for $1,200. for plants. Not only will we have emergent grasses, but also Black Eyed Susans, Marsh Mallows and some other flowering plants. These are going to be little plugs only two inches so we will have to guard them from the geese. That job will belong to everyone!!
And if all that doesn't WOW you…yes, more sand is coming it.
