This pond that we partially own was one of the factors that motivated us to buy our home 16 years ago.  Remember the movie "Funny Farm" with Chevy Chase and the way he hired the local townspeople to play certain roles when potential buyers were visiting his house?  Well, when we walked through the living room, a pair of geese floated past the windows just as I walked past the windows on the inside.  I chuckled because I could have sworn that some director somewhere yelled, "Release the geese", and as if on cue, they played their roles brilliantly.  We bought the house!
