Heavy Rain: Aquatic garden view from our security camera

Our security camera captures a rainy view of our aquatic garden space. This is the same day (August 5, 2024) that Hurricane Debby made landfall in north Florida. It may have pushed an unexpected shower our way.

Relaxing Retirement Project | A Backyard Aquatic Garden Can Deliver Healthy Serenity

Many retirees find healthy benefits to having a private, calming aquatic garden for your home, condo or apartment. The sounds of a waterfall and chirping birds can relax your soul and possibly lower blood pressure. It is also a great area to add flowers, fruit and veggies organically grown in your own yard. It is so nice to gather fresh blueberries, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, peppers, figs, watermelons and a plethora of other items directly from you own home spaces. The physical upkeep and additions can offer physical, as well as mental health. The sights of swimming fish and the sound of a croaking bullfrog is sure to put a big smile on your face.
