Breaking News!

After the long, hard winter killed off the pond, we had to start from scratch. And when I say "we" I pretty much mean Kevin. He does all the pond maintenance, and I encourage him and enjoy it. Anyway, this spring the pond reeked, and no fish or frogs and only a few plants survived. Kev's slowly been rebuilding it. We bought a new lily, and some cheap goldfish, and have been waiting to see what happened. At least four of the fish have lived and grown quite a bit. Yesterday we noticed some nice fat buds on the lily. And today...well, see for yourself. It's officially a healthy pond - we have a frog! And the lily has bloomed!

I have tons of pictures from our weekend at Amana, and will post a few of them tomorrow. For now, I'll just say that we had a great time and are glad to be eating vegetables again. :)

And on another note - get well soon Joe! We hope you're back in biking form in short order!
