On September 21, 2021, we stopped first at Friends Fishing Pond, which is part of Kohler-Andrae State Park. The small visitor center was open at Kohler-Andrae State Park, and we bought some cards. This selection of photos by Karl is from both places.
Today Karl and I walked around the Ancient Shores Trail at Friends Fishing Pond, which is part of Kohler-Andrae State Park.
You can see more photos of the pond and area in our post from August 21, 2018, Friends Fishing Pond and Flowers in Sheboygan. This was a new discovery for us then, and our walk around the trail was new today.

We lost most of our ash tree in the recent storm. Karl has been taking care of the wood. We’ll leave part of the tree stump and see what happens. Hosta surround the stump, which may become a place for a large planter. We have also seen new growth from fallen trees, over time. I will watch and learn more.
