Pond therapy: Fish as ham

Posted on Jul 05, 2008 by Susie Collins in Blog, Leisure, Organic Gardening, Susie Collins, Susie's Secret Garden

I know, I know, I told you yesterday that Saturday was house cleaning day. But of course I am procrastinating and playing with my ponds. This morning I found this beautiful, tiny, bright yellow bloom on the Mosaic plant and wanted to share it with you–awhile back I wrote about the wasps coming to drink by landing on the lovely swirled leafs, and I wanted you to see the little flower that pops up from time to time. The flower itself came out a little overexposed, but the fish were hamming it up so the shot was saved.

Pond therapy today was especially pleasurable because Thursday was a very rough day of recovery after getting exposed to something Wednesday at a meeting in town. Yesterday I still felt pretty crummy, but this morning I was back on my game. Outside in the sun and wind and fresh air made me feel so happy to be alive.
