recently we purchased some feeder fish and popped them into the pond… they vanished under the bridge and weren’t seen again, lol…
a few days ago, the fish were caught and brought out to the pond from their indoor condo … my housemate has very little trouble catching them in the tanks…

once the pail was outside, he waited patiently for me to get out there to take the before, during, and after photos, lol…
they, too, went right under the bridge, but by the next afternoon, they were swimming all around the pond and enjoying a snack…

so happy to have them outdoors again;-)…

looked out the window after yesterday’s snow and spotted many tracks…

not sure if it is just one bunny or many, many bunnies, lol…
throughout the day carrot chunks vanished from the deck… got some photos of the visitors… no idea how many, but it sure was fun to spot them whenever I was in the kitchen…

by end of day, all of the carrot bits were gone…

went to a dog park with the kids this afternoon for some family photos… I had never been to this particular place before, but did find my way… wearing the new blue jeans and hoodie…
there were lots of trees to climb… everyone listened very well and lots of photos were taken… even I climbed a tree, although could not make it far enough out on the trunk to be in the group shot, lol…
took my camera and got a few shots behind the scenes as the fun was being had… Jamie Noordman Photography did a great job…
there were lots and lots and lots of dogs there… most of them loose… one nearly knocked me over, but on the whole they were very well behaved… including the two with us…
things went very well, until one of those other dogs grabbed the special stick that one of the little guys had found, right out of his hand…
that doesn’t sound like that big a deal, but it was the end of cooperation for picture taking… even Grandma’s Skittle treats couldn’t save the day…
on our way home we stopped for hot chocolate at Starbucks and then went our separate ways… sadly I got a little lost, but then found the right road…
ended up stopping at Henry’s to buy a new charger for my phone because the old one has vanished…
watched some tv and caught this absolutely gorgeous sky when I happened to look out the window…
eventful day filled with lots of fun and special moments… I am truly blessed…
