A CLEAN FISH POND.......

Here's what I have been working on today. Now all I need .....FISH!!!!! The pond had a little water in the bottom from last summer. I removed that and scrubbed with a brush and rinsed and scrubbed again. Finally I filled it with water and put new mulch around the edges. I'm going to Lisa's tomorrow and she is going to take me to a place that sells all kind of fish for a pond. Now the next thing I will do is put my hammock up and I will be good for a place to read and listen to the rippling of the water. Right now what I need is the bed!

I can't wait to see pictures of the fish you get or your pond.

Have a wonderful week. I'll post one more time in the morning--but then I'll be gone for about 9 days.

Hugs,

Beth said...: Very pretty, Clara! I love the idea of dozing off in a hammock to the sound of birdsong and running water. I'm looking forward to seeing the fish you get.; 10:27 AM

WHERE I'M FROM........

I am from hayfield and blackberry patches, gathering eggs and selling them to my Daddy in his store. I am from a house with no bath....but a path. I am from cherry trees where I climbed and ate more than I carried home.....from digging potatoes in the rich earth. I am from skinny dipping and swinging on grape vines, two room school house, sitting on the front porch while my Mother played the guitar.....wringer washers and wash tubs. I am from playing the piano, the accordian and making playhouses in the woods....hide and seek, jumping rope and May I. From: Raleigh's Liniment, Cracker Jacks and Castor Oil.....Revival Meetings and Baptisms in the river....catalogs and feed sack skirts. From: "Pretty is only skin deep" to "Always mind your manners." I am from Methodist, Baptist, Wednesday night prayer meetings and shouting Hallaujah. I am from the Volunteer state of Tennessee with lakes and mountains, race cars, beans, cornbread and red eye gravy. We always called it "God's Country." I am from family get togethers, dinner on the ground, singing with my sisters, a Mother with a heart of gold and a Daddy with a strict hand. A grandfather who always looked to see if I had my fingernails painted and a Grandmother who could squeeze your heart out! Yes, I came from a family of seven siblings and I have told you where I came from. It was wonderful and I wouldn't change a thing if I could. Now let me tell you where I am going...."To Where The Streets Are Paved With Gold." Some days, I can hardly wait!
