Doesn't my pond look pretty!
With the beautiful yellow blooms all over?
And the other pond with the pretty green sheen all over?
NOT!!! or at least not to a farmer. I was wanting to do something about the pond weeds and scum, so Monday we spent $55 for 6 grass carp, 3 in each pond. I don't know if that will help, but I wanted to try it.
Two of the sisters have been talking about their shopping trips with their grandkids to by school clothes. I have bought my grandchildren school clothes on occasion, but it is not my favorite activity. Lane always wants something that I hate, and Emmy wants everything. I just let their parents worry about school clothes and supplies. And, I buy most of my clothes at the thrift store or yard sales. My favorite pair of jeans cost 50 cents and my favorite pair of capris for work cost 25 cents. I need to buy new tee shirts because I have bleach spots on most of my good ones from failing to take them off when I get home from work, but so far all I have bought is one boys tee shirt on clearance for $2.50. I hate to spend money on clothes because they are not very important to me. If my grandkids did not have good clothes to wear to school, I would buy them good clothes, but as long as their parents will buy them plenty of school clothes, I will save my money for important things like grass eating fish.
Oh, yes, and we got an inch and a half of rain. You can see it in my rain gage. I like having a rain gage, but the last two I bought got broken. I found this one under the sink in my kitchen. I don't think it will break, but if it does, I know where I can find a replacement for the same amount of money. Husband and son made fun of my rain gage, but until today, I can guarantee it was absolutely accurate because until today it always said we got no rain. That was completely accurate. Today it may not be absolutely accurate, but it was worth the price and I have a pretty good idea of how much it rained. If husband or son want to buy a better rain gage or buy me new clothes at the mall I will let them. I am saving my money to buy a minnow trap so I can trap minnows in the creek to put in the ponds. Then, next spring, I am going to buy blue gill and bass. That will cost more than $55. No money for clothes. Saving it all for the important things in life...

I love the gauga.
I don't have any new stuff for school...I wear everything until it wears out or gets too tight. Except shoes...I like good shoes and yes, I have bought 2 new pair.
The pond with the scum looks bad to me. I guess I am a farmer.
the carp will get rid of the pond scum. greg's got some in his grandpa's pond....
I told that kids when they were little that the green on the pond was frog spit. Notice that is a p.
erin know what will work for the pond. i like the rose of sharon.
yes the pond is very green. It did not look that way when we had cows running on it. That 1st picture just confuses me. I think it is a black and white picture of the pond showing reflections. I guess the green pond is the one on your side of the road?
That's pretty funny about the reflection photo. Yes, the top part is just the reflection of the trees on the horizion in the pond. The green pond is the one on my side of the road. What we used to call the new pond.
