I spent a lovely and quiet hour sitting right next to the pond this morning…

I had planned to turn the waterfall on as soon as I got into the garden, but decided to sit close to the pond and watch the fish…

yesterday, when I was in the pond cleaning it up, I spotted a baby swimming by… they move really quickly, so I only saw it for a moment…

my goal this morning was to check for any others that might be there…

and I spotted two… maybe the whitish one I saw yesterday and an actual gold one… they are much harder to spot in the pond as they look black… of course I didn’t get any pictures, lol…

great excitement and I will keep watch for more;-)…

sure miss the water hyacinth as its roots were a wonderful safe hiding place for babies as they started their journey as the goldfish eat them when they are very small…

Advent, almond, big girl pants, calendar, candied, ChocoMe, coconut, George, gold, widow

had a tasty treat after dinner tonight…

this was in my Advent calendar on day 4, which was also George’s birthday… it is 65% dark chocolate with coconut, candied violets and gold flakes by ChocoMe…

and it tastes delicious…

had it with some almonds to be sure I got a portion of protein with it…

gold, Juneau, salmon, whales

For some reason the time on the ship changed back an hour last night…

Cyndi and I got up very early and went on deck to watch for whales and see the sun rise amongst the mountains… gorgeous… and, we saw a whale… it was quite a ways off the side but she got a head and tail shot… then we went back to bed for a while…

had breakfast, sat in the solarium and got in a line waiting to head out into Juneau for gold panning, a salmon bake and shopping…

got on a little bus that took us out to a creek where we panned for gold… everyone found some… beautiful warm sun-shiny day, which is apparently not normal… then we headed to a salmon bake where we had salmon and baked beans, clam chowder, great hash brown casserole and fabulous lemonade… then to town to shop…

all shopped out and have a few lovely mementos of our visit to Juneau…

back on board for a nap and the dinner at Izumi (sushi), and we’ve finished off the night at a 70s dance party…
