The Gold Fish and Mosaic Monday

nature is God's own

color and life abounding

thanks be to God

The fish in the pond are finally coming to the top to feed so we can see them.  We knew they were still in the pond as there were none floating as if they had died, but just wondered how they were doing in all the heat.  Look!  They are thriving.

The Gerber Daisy looks like bleach had been dropped on it by accident, but no, that too is from God's palate.  Wonders all of God's creation!

Thanks be to God!

The Pond Has a Hole In It...

The Upper Pond
Taken 5/18/2008

I will make rivers well up on barren heights,
and fountains in the midst of valleys;
turn the wilderness into a lake,
and dry ground into waterspring.

Isaiah 41:18
(The Jerusalem Bible)

Well, it would seem that we have another hole in the larger of the two lily ponds. We had one in it before but Ron was able to find it and repair it. He hasn't been that successful this time. The water lilies in both ponds, however, are really very pretty this year. The fish are gone and Freddie, our resident frog has taken up residence elsewhere, I suspect. Last year the lily pond was the only thing in the garden that didn't need work. Now, with the results of the drought last summer and the ice storms this winter it has really taken a toll on the yard. I have been glad that the dandelions that Ron worked diligently to keep down for the last two years did not return. So we have our work cut out for us with the "barren heights" and the "dry ground."

It just means we'll just have to keep pluggin' along, little by little.

Have a Grand Weekend!!
