No Fishing!

 Good morning,

The neighbors may think I'm nuts when I lean out the back door an call to Lily, "Lily!  No fishing!"  Lily is fascinated by the goldfish in our pond.  Above you see her holding her froggie stuffy toy.  Only once have I seen her drop a toy in the pond.  It took quite awhile for her to get it out and I don't think she has done it again.

 It has been so warm for a week or so that the Snow Drop flowers are blooming!  These flowers are around the post that supports the electric line to the pond.

 He's not easy to see, so I supplied an arrow.  This is one of three goldfish alive and well in our pond.  We're not quite sure what happened to the other half dozen or so....  Perhaps Lily knows?

 Here's a wider shot of Lily watching her fish.  The red item in the pond is a tank deicer.  It keeps the pond free of ice in the winter.  The fish appreciated their "heated pool."  Farmers use tank deicers to keep water supplies from freezing for livestock.

 Thanks go to Daddy, Kjell, for the images.  :)

Happy Winter....
