MoonDog's Place: Memorial Day Weekend

It seems the weather has broken and we are getting a glimpse of the potential summer ahead. It is nice to feel the abundant sunshine and warmer air.

I've taken a few shots of the yard and garden blooms to add to the blog.

A little story.

The cold weather and ducks in our small pond led us to believe the three goldfish that we so carefully overwintered were gone. For five days we saw no sign of them. Thinking the ducks or a racoon may have eaten them I went and purchased some new fish. I got eight more. Added them to the pond. Lost one almost immediately. The weathered warmed and suddenly the three big fish were back. Evidently the cold had sent them back into their dormant state behind the waterlily roots and pot. I now have at least eight fish in the pond. Their may be two more but they are black/brown and the pond has so many shadows they are hard to find. I did see one in the early morning sun two days ago, but not since then.

So what do I do with all this fish if they all survive. Stay tuned to find out.

These are some shots of a few of the visitors we see daily. There are many more and I will try to catch some photos of them as the summer and year progresses,

I will try to catch our house wren singing to add tg the next blog post. They are often referred to as the bulldogs of the bird kingdom.
