Wet Summer

After  a few days of gloomy wet weather I took a soggy (the ground was squishy) walk to the pond (now full up to the moss).  Nothing has changed that I could see.  As I pondered at the pond, watching ripples, I wondered if all ripples are in the shape of a circle?  I couldn't make any other shape, no matter what I tossed into the water.  Hmmmm...is there a mathematical reason?  Perhaps, but why bother with math when you can just enjoy the ripples.   Then I took pictures and slogged my way back.  I've always wanted to post the tombstones in the backyard for all to see and of course, a new picture of the house.
