Dear Mom,
Because I missed a day this week, today you get two posts.
Yesterday when Dan and Corey came over for dinner, Dan brought the giant sump pump from the fire department and the boys took about 2/3 of the water out of the mucky fish pond. Then Ron got in the fishpond, scrubbed the algae off the walls and scooped plant matter off the bottom. When he was cleaning up afterwards, somehow in the muck he found two scales from the goldfish. Aren't they big? I mean, the goldfish are big too, but I was surprised at how big these were.




Love,
Ruth

Dear Ruth,

ohmygod I LOVE THOSE FISH SCALES. It would be fun to compose a visual with them as focal points.Too bad that electroforming would lose the color, huh.

Thanks for 2 blogs today, which felt like 3 because I got last night's this morning. I was just checking again for the heck of it before quitting for the night, and lo! what a surprise.

Dad loved your earlier sky, with the little pink cloud. It actually looks like a George Chaplin painting...

I'll bet the fish are swimming around wondering what happened--- feeling sort of light but not knowing why. Well, at least they are 2 scales lighter. xoxoxoxo

Love, mom
