There are a lot of ponds in Oklahoma. Many people here have large lots or acreage, so it's pretty common for people to have their own private ponds. Some of the ponds are really nice--they have gazebos, benches, docks, and even small shacks on the edge of them so people can sit and relax. I realized after a year of seeing all these ponds with their sitting areas that I have yet to see a single person sitting by one of them! Here are some reflections on pond sitting...and just using the stuff to do the stuff we intended to do in the first place.
