I waded in the pond yesterday to fertilize the plants. Today two fish that I haven't seen in weeks were back smiling at me. Must have returned from their summer vacation. The funny thing is we had replaced them thinking a heron had visited early one morn. So our mortality rate is now 0% (lol).

I got married on my in-laws' farm. They have a 3-acre pond stocked with sunnies and smallmouth bass. To swim in it means you're at risk of losing portions of your anatomy....those suckers like to nip, and not gently! Yet when you drop in a line, they all disappear.:D

"If by a liberal, they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind; someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions; someone who cares about the welfare of the people, their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties; someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicion that grips us; that is what they meant by a liberal, I am proud to be a liberal."
John F. Kennedy, September, 1960
