A summer pond pic from last year.
Susan and Bob, (next door) just had me over for wine, (big wine fan here,) and chips by the pond. It's 8 degrees today and gloriously sunny. While admiring the fish, that have very successfully wintered, we noticed the following:
a: there are teeny brown/black ones we haven't seen before
b: Fluffy is ginormously fat!
Fluffy is a long story. He was a present to Mich for her 16th birthday. He came in a fish bowl, with pink rocks. He was a normal little goldfish. Now, Fluffy obviously didn't ever learn the rule about fish NOT growing beyond their environment. He outgrew the bowl. I bought him a lovely 5 gallon aquarium. He outgrew it. A friend of Bob's (husband, not next door,) gave me a 15 gallon... Fluffy outgrew that one too. Fluffy was relegated to the pond (next door, yes same next door as Bob next door,) where he flourished!
Today. sitting outside with our wine we noticed Fluffy has a "normal" head and then poofs out into this exta-wide body! Now, pond fish are supposed to go dormant over the winter. Fluffy is a rebel. No stupid rules for him obviously. He is now over 4 years old, about 8 inches long and 3 inches wide!

Pat dumped her first glass of the year of wine in the pond!!!!! No wonder we have such huge fish!!!!
It was a very nice hour by the pond dreaming of Spring.
See you tomorrow.
and HAPPY fish
tattle tale! :o)~
ummm certainly NOT first glass of wine of the year, first glass today, first glass of 2007 by the pond but not "first glass of the year" by a long shot... ask Patty! hehehe
I didn't mean your first glass - we lost count on that one. The first glass to spill into the pond this year and probably not the last.
