You're not going to believe this but I was watching one of your videos with your cat showing up and I said quietly to myself "wish I had a gray cat like that"...a few days later a gray cat showed up almost identical to yours. How about that?! Life is funny sometimes!

The pond looks so pretty now. You and John are good stewards of your property, that is lovely to see.

Mary, this is an appropriate video. We watch you clean your house and now we watch you clean your pond....a consistent message! LOL! (I don’t have a pond, nor clean my house as thoroughly as you do!) but still enjoy your content. (I pretend my house is clean after watching your video!)

[@linmims3049]

Oh my goodness, that pond, and the area surrounding it is so beautiful. I can just imagine sitting nearby reading/studying my bible. It seems that when I am out in nature I have such an enhanced sense of God's presence and much greater appreciation for this gorgeous canvas that he created for us to enjoy. Perhaps one day before I go to be with Him I will be blessed with a beautiful pond to enjoy. Thank you for sharing this. Be blessed. xx

[@leapintothewild]

Don't have a pond, don't plan to have a pond -- but this was INTERESTING and I watched the entire thing! hahaha Seriously, grew up on a farm and had several algae-filled ponds that looked like this, remember dad and grandpa having the extension agent come over with advice a few times but they never cleaned up like this! Congrats, and enjoy that water :-)

[@simonem.3092]

I just LOVE how you often say, “but for now, this will do”. It is a statement that is packed with principle, patience, and attitude. ❤️

The Pond is Beautiful. I don't have a pond but I love anything you have to share.

[@dianeelaine]

My last house had a pond with a stone covered bridge over a part of it in the backyard surrounded by willow trees. It was beautiful. We would find old fashioned keys in the pond all the time. I don’t know why they were there but it was neat to find them! The pond was the reason we purchased the home. There was an outdoor fireplace and in the winter friends would come over to ice skate and warm themselves by the fire with hot cocoa. Your video made me miss that!!!

[@dianeschenkelberg8270]

When I saw you walking around the pond in a skirt and flip-flops, I thought you must be having an unusually warm November! It wasn't until the end when you were bundled up and stating you started the project in September that it made more sense. The pond cleaned up very nicely! I don't have one myself, but there's one up the road that could sure benefit from a clean-up.

[@jovicrazed]

My heart always goes out to you when something doesn't go quite as planned like how the water was too fake looking at first or when you thought you had ruined your kitchen counters, as you are such a kind and genuine person that it's hard to see you be disappointed by something. I think that the pond looks amazing - great job!

[@jaquetagamble4409]

Mary, I just have a small fish pond, the dirty green water drives me crazy! So to make a long story short, I just used 4 water hyacinth and within a few weeks my water was clear! The hyacinth multiplied and bloomed. The hyacinth cost me $8.00. Very easy fix. You should try these. I enjoy your channel so much.

[@daniellewhorton7507]

The water hyacinth is very pretty but will take over any pond as they reproduce quickly

[@jaquetagamble4409]

@@daniellewhorton7507 you are 100% correct but I just remove them as they multiply and give them away. Mary's large pond would probably be a big job to control them, but again you are right.

Oh my goodness it’s like night and day difference! Perhaps a Solar Water Spray Fountain? ⛲️ I really enjoyed your version of the “Notebook”, you’re too adorable! ☺️

[@carolynfulton4060]

The pond is beautiful! I’m assuming since you mentioned ‘The Notebook’, that you read all of Nicholas Sparks’ books. My daughter fell in love with his books with his fist. Since his new books come out in the fall, I would always give her the newest title for Christmas and after she finished it she would pass it to me. After she married and moved several hundred miles away, I knew it would be quite awhile before I would see her to get the book-so I read the book before I gift wrapped it for her! So, the first Christmas I did this, on Christmas morning she opened it up she, as always was very happy-and I told her it was a very good read and she need not worry getting it back to me. I took some ribbing about giving a ‘used’ book as a gift. They were still living far away the following Christmas so I,again, read the book before gifting it to her. So, after she opened it up my son-in-law asked, “How was it?” Big laugh from the family- so now, quite a few books and years later , it’s expected of me to read the book before Christmas! I think they’d all be disappointed if I didn’t read it first! Gotta end this-there’s a new book hidden away in my closet that I need to read! 😉. Take care-God bless!

[@candycurtis3820]

I literally laughed out loud at your "Notebook" comment. That's so sweet and funny. Your pond is gorgeous, Mary! Thanks for sharing!

What a transformation! I didn’t realize how large your pond is. That’s a small lake! Sure was worth all the work. I never knew there were additives that could renew an older pond, however I have passed the freaky blue colored ponds people have. 😳😱 The row boat and “The Notebook” reference too cute...wait a minute...where’s my box of Kleenex? 😭 What a lovely place to sit and relax.

Didn't even have to squint to see Allie and Noah (or the real ducks) SPOT ON. (Let's hope the production CO doesn't see the exact resemblance and hit you up for royalties. 🤣) Truly admire your integrity about sponsorships. With your followers, it must be difficult to turn down all the requests you get. Well done, but know...you deserve to receive all the good you have coming for the content you provide. I can only speak for myself, but I would not turn away if you decide to take on more. And yes, I have three ponds. One looks very similar to yours. We decided to cut the trees back so no direct shade through the day, cut the banks back so mowing was possible, and then deepened it. The excavator came up to the edge and dug 25 deep down...then broke the wall and it leveled and doubled in size. The water quality improved. And so does the health of the fish. To enable the fish to treat themselves...a depth of cold water is necessary. Without a deep cold option, it has been said not to consume the fish. So...all that said, I will be contacting the Pond Guy for advice and will let them know I come by way of The White Cottage, of Allie and Noah.

[@margueritepeaden3445]

My grandparents lived next door and had a pond when I was growing up. Don’t have one now, but found this interesting to watch. Aeration is frequently a factor in helping your pond, especially the fish in it when the temperatures get really hot in the summer. Yours is looking better definitely.
