Cleaning The Ponds

<< < (2/2)

Dianna:
So the fish were taken by a predator, Tina? Poor fish. I think that is what happened to Delilah. I miss her and Sampson coming up to the top of the water begging for food when I am out there... :(

I still haven't started bailing the ponds. We did find out that one of the pumps is too little, though. The fittings do not match what we need them to. We will make another trip to Summerville and Harbor Freight soon... :wink5:

Tina:
See, I'd rather the fish were taken by a natural predator than to wonder what I may have done wrong in their care. Our fish were happy to see us coming too. But I was never emotionally involved with them, really. And the stork was wonderful to see close up.

Dianna:
Tina, Delilah would let me pet her. Sometimes Sampson would allow it, but he was a little more cautious of me... :BigGrin:

bestofour:
I've never seen a stork in person.

Tina:
It was a pretty funny story. I looked out my window and saw it just a few feet away in my pond. I went out the door and it spread its wings and surprised me by being able to navigate the tree canopy. I looked awhile later and it was beside the pond. I left to pick up ted from school and Jonni woke up. She was sitting in my computer chair and this huge bird walked right by the window across the front porch. She didn't mention it when I got home because she was afraid I would think she was nuts. I do. But not about the huge bird. I mentioned it first.
