Papa Smurf

It seems that having our Doodle Doggies guard our pond 24/7 is an unrealistic expectation.  Although they LOVE that job, there are other things that must be done during the day. To protect our fish-doodles we dye the pond each year with a blue tinted dye that makes it harder for birds of prey to see our little friends. It is one of my very favorite days of the year - it is watercolor painting in blue!

On our way for Blue Pond Day! 

Before 

For some reason, Mr. Yesteryear Acres doesn't want to be blue 

Hickory wants his own pair of gloves 

We don't need Blue Doodles!!! 

Blue Time! 

I love this part 

My favorite color 

The designs are even prettier in person 

It is fun to watch the color disperse across the pond 

I Love it 

Making our way around the pond 

Blue Splash! 

One last splash and.... 

Mr. Yesteryear Acres almost became Papa Smurf! 

And now we just sit back and enjoy the show 

Peaceful 

and Beautiful 

One last bit of green to reach 

Blue Pond day complete!
