They were having quite a conversation, these two, and I watched them for the longest time. Was it world events? Family problems? Some gossip, per chance, about the goings-on around Bickley’s Pond?
Or perhaps–like the rest of us–they were simply discussing this cold, cold weather!

This is a blog about writing, creative living, and grace in the everyday. It’s my hope this little spot on the internet will be for you a place of quiet and reflection, a source for inspiration, and a reminder there’s beauty all around—we simply need to keep our hearts open to see it. Thank you for being here with me.
Curious- how did Bickley’s pond get it’s name ?
The land around the pond was/is owned by a man with the last name Bickley. When it became a subdivision, the pond was named Sterling Lake. That’s just never felt right to me. So I started calling it Bickley’s Pond because I like the sound of that better. (And, to tell the truth, I think it is way more appropriate for our little pond which is most certainly NOT a Sterling Lake. Thanks for asking, Alice!
