Sittin' Around on Persimmon Pond

[mitten]

Hi Girls.

When I first watched the Serenity Interupted Vid I was very proud of you Marie, but then later read that it wasn't your gusto waking up the morning. The title had lead me to anticipate the sound of track machines coming down the road. Man, I love that sound, especially when I've not known just which day they were coming.

Barb, fish school, true. They sure as hell don't herd. I tend to call them "the fish" and describe their quantity as "a messa." You're right though, I am highly reactive in an allergic sort of way to "herd." Sorry Joseph.

Now Miss Marie, seeing as you enjoy quoting commercials, how about a cartoon reference? Your thread has progressed from hijacked to "a fractured fairy tale."

*LMAO and generally spewing coffee all over the keyboard* No Mickey, I'm not the lass with gas, I'm the lass with class LOL! Oh I wish that had been a track machine coming down the drive instead of a blown water heater being drug out of the side of the house and the new one being installed so I can enjoy my long hot Calgon getaways again. It superceded the trip to get the tractor w/frontloader yesterday. Today, if nothing else blows up or goes wrong, there should be a tractor w/front loader delivered by afternoon. *beams*

I'm with you and Barb on the "herd" thang. (sorry Joseph )
I have a herd of horses in my pasture--12,000 lbs of thundering herd when it's feed time. I have a flock of chickens, a colony of cats and a pack of dogs in my yard. And I have two schools of fish in my ponds....English majors are compelled to use the proper terminology or they feel like Dee Dee Dee's in the middle of a Fractured Fairy Tale..... *L*

Now you just need a troubling of goldfish!

I just love seeing your fish, though.

LOL, you cheeky lemur, you. *S* This whole mess started with a troubling of goldfish....I've been raising sarassa comets for the past 7 years. And you want to hear something really bizarre? My original sarassa oyagoi were bred by Richard, just like the kohaks I have now. Isn't that a trip?

I don't have a lot of pics of them, but you can pick them out from the koi when they spent last year until last week, now that their new pond is ready for them to transfer into.

[cheekylemur]

Gorgeous, those comets are almost enough to switch me off the fancies (especially if this ranchu drops eggs for third time in 3 weeks in QT)... lol

[Gail]

LOL.Marie.I thought for a second my husband was in your yard
That was funny.

That last pic of your GF.I have very similar to the bottom fish, and the pattern on that top gf is wonderful!

That 4 step Kohaku is huge!

hope you will be around during the memorial weekend to give us a tour of you ponds. can't wait.
