floaters and sinkers
marvin has discovered the koi and it drove him nuts. he'd spend all his time pacing around the koi pond and shaking. he tried and tried to reach the fish.
then things started to go wrong. some sank, some floated. they all died.
he made a chair from stone
on saturday we drove down to wimberley for market days. always a great place to get plants for landscaping. we lost our 69 mercedes. it is so small when mixed along all the big trucks in the parking area.
we visited our wimberley land and found that the neighboring 5 acres had been mostly clear cut.
my daughter made this swing all by herself! she used a scrap 2x4, tied the rope herself and used a piece of pvc pipe to get it up high into the oak tree. she constantly amazes me and she's a source of great inspiration. I hope some day I'll be more like her.
my son has no use for towels. soon as he gets out of the shower he says, "I'm going outside to dry".
we did buy one tiny koi to act as our canary in a coal mine. so far, he seems extremely healthy and happy in our new pond. we will wait for him to live a week before we invest in replacement koi. we've found no certain answer why all our koi died after relocation.
if he lives a week, he'll get a name, a picture and some friends.
