Koi & tadpoles galore
i didn’t know anyone sold tadpoles. But Myers Plant & Pottery does. They also sell Koi. A great place to bring (well behaved) children.
Yoda’s lessons to his young fish
You cannot try to swim…”Do or do not…there is no try”

only because it needed to grow a bit more. My son in the background
The creek in our backyard
It didn’t look like this yesterday. It was brown & as high as the banks that contained it. What a storm we had. This is when our creek is at peace. The odd color is from the red iron rich soil & clay. Maybe I should have faked it blue. I’m just grateful to hear…
Big fish
Lots of them. Anyone know what kind?
green ponds
This pond is filled with charcoal gray fish that are about two feet long, 10 million algae cover turtles, cute ducks & one scary snake. Isn’t it pretty?
my big kids koi art project-incomplete
I thought it would be cool to see the before & later the after. A crazy media for painting the koi…The bottom shows how I taught the girls the lines when drawing the fish. I told them to ink- I had not done that yet, so I inked one scale & used what media?
The State of our Union
Even our Union is broken. Congressman & woman fight with one another, who do they work for? Us, not the money, vote them out, the ones who refuse to compromise, vote them out of office, no matter their party. I am married to my opposite, but we’ve learned to compromise with each other. Because we are grown ups. Because we love each other & what we are, a family. We (it is ‘we’ isn’t it? People & the land are ‘we’), as a country, are giving up & pulling out. I drive down our roads & there is nothing to see but FOR SALE signs. This is NOT who we are. We have families, we have homes with friends & dogs & cats & birds & fish… These are the things that define who we are, do you really want to sell WHO we are? But who am I to say this? Nobody, really. I’m just one vote. But I’m paying attention & these ribbons say it all.
