I wake this morning to the sound of THUMP, THUMP. MOMS UP !! She lives with us and we love having her here. I roll outta bed in a bit of a grump. I hate working afternoons, don't sleep well, but I do like the time it gives me to muck around the yard and most of all the pond. I get my cup of coffee and check the forum. Not much going on so I head out side to do some work. I check the fish and throw them some food. Everyone comes to the surface like they have been shot from the cannon of the deep. I see that everyone is there so I go to the QT, throw in some food for the sicko's, pellets, watermellon & a few worms and a way I go. I do a few things around the yard, cut the grass, pull some weeds. When I'm done I look around the yard to see what else I can do. I must say things look pretty good. I deside it's time to sit and enjoy the pond. I plunk my self down by the edge and everyone comes to say "Hello". I put my hand down into the water and everyone comes to see if there is food. At this point when they see there is none they swim away and do thiere fish thing. But to-day was different ! They all hung around sucking on my hand and fingers. Each and everyone. I was able to stroke Magma, Mr. Grey & Mr. Big. Before long they were all comming to get thier share of lovin. Sometimes I wonder if all the hard work is worth it. The time and money. Sick fish, Meds better pumps and filter. To-day I got back ten fold what I give. I hope to have many more days like this one. Sometimes I think we get so wrapped up in other things & even fish thing that we forget why we have a pond to begin with. But days like to-day remind me that I'll never be without one.
