Off To See Mother

Once again, I will attempt to see my Mother for the holidays! I am leaving this afternoon and will return Friday morning. So, posts will be light in the coming week. Sean and I are going to a wedding of a good friend's daughter in Brooklyn and then to Mother's. I will be returning on the speedy ferry.


This week, the ice melted on my pond, and my koi are coming up to see what's up. Much work needs to be done on the pond, as you can see. The net needs to be removed, but a rock is holding it down. I have tried to remove it, but it has eluded my net. I'm going to have to get Sean to help me out with it. Hopefully, most of the leaves will be trapped in the net also. It is so tantalizing seeing the fish again after the long winter. But they are still quite sluggish because the water is still so cold. They don't come all the way up to feed yet. That won't be for many weeks. I can't wait!
