| an observation, light conversation
last night as i was " putting the carp to bed" I watched the 10 little blue indians
zooming around their net inclosure. They would jump out of the water not like
parasites were bothering them but exactly how I used to see small trout jump at sunset. Simply for the shear joy of living. It was the first time I have seen koi do that. i had the sense that maybe it's something fry do. Kinda like at 4:30 when the birds of the neighborhood raise a "din" for about half an hr in conjunction with sunrise. after that you get an occassional chirp but not the big roar to welcome in the day.
for many years I had my great big show koi only. I can't tell you how much fun these little guys are giving me just watching them grow and learn. I missed that. I don't know what it is but it's real. Maybe similar to what we feel when we get a new kitten or puppy. ( except I can't hug my baby blues) but then i don't need a big supply of newspapers either! (LOL)
