I love living in the country - the birds, the squirrels, the frogs, the turtles, the fish, the deer, the bunnies, the fox, even the raccoon. But, oh dear - 4 of our 5 or 6 year old gold fish totally disappeared - good sized pond fish. What happened?
Last night we saw a coon across the road from our place, with such a smile on his face. Last week I so enjoyed taking pictures of the Heron - first just one came visiting, then there were three. That baseball sized frog a couple years ago, is now at least hal again as big and lives in the pond where the adult gold fish disappeared. He'd never bothered them before - but he's bigger now, did he do it? I haven't seen any turtles around lately, so I think I can count them out for now - though soon we should see them out sunning them selves and frequently they are backyard visitors.
I'd really like to put more goldfish in that pond - decisions, decisions - would it do any good to move that bull frog in the large pond across the street, or would he find his way back. At first we thought it was the Heron's - but after seeing how huge the frog had grown - we wonder. It happens. Something got em without a single sign . . .Things to think about . . .
