I’ve been spending a good deal of time watching the fish as they swim around the pond in their school…

they are doing well and growing nicely…

I made a hoop for the water hyacinth (handyperson me!) and it is filling quickly…

part of the reason I gathered it together was to provide a safe haven for any babies that might turn up…

and, just yesterday, I spotted one tiny little goldfish swimming close beside the hoop… excited to see if more show their little faces…
