I’m always happy when I get a text from Jim or Amelia Lantz inviting me to pop on over to their place on Mill Pond to see some wonderful new sights like munchkin-sized merganser ducklings following their Mom, or a family of three otters churning up the water, a fruiting Jack-in-the Pulpit, or a newly felled tree by a local eager beaver.
When I arrive, I usually walk around with Jim to see the latest happenings, take a bunch of pictures, and then sit on their wide swing, where we bask in the beauty of the Mill Pond and discuss philosophy. It really is a break from the hustle and bustle of life. Amelia, on the other hand, almost never takes a break. Among her passions are pollinators in every shape and form as evidenced by the pollinator paradise she has created for them in their yard. When we’re quiet, we can hear them buzzing.
Now I’m excited to share a new way of experiencing Mill Pond. Jim and his son Daniel with the help of AI have composed a lovely song called “The Ballad of Mill Pond.” Find a comfortable spot, close your eyes, and listen at https://suno.com/song/90e75798-5a77-4e8f-ba61-55534b0f11aa
