So I went back to the Y for the first time since vacation---worked out for one hour--the instructor never showed up.

Then after that I ran to Petsmart to get some fish and plants for the new pond. The POTD is not too great but i got 7 fish (red mouth minnows--goldfish LOL), a snail and 4 water plants. There was no indication of what the plants really were or info on them. So I picked out the 3 I thought most attractive (I got 2 of one kind) and wrote down the names so I could look them up when I got home. One of them turns out to be sweet flag (a kinda iris looking thing) which is something I wanted to get anyway---so now we have 7 fish---waiting to see how the 12 cent each fish do before we put the big fish out there, 6 plants and a snail (gosh just about forgot the pollywog's and the mosquito larvae--which is what the fish are supposed to eat).

We have had soooo much rain since last week.. one thing we discovered today is that we have Pollywogs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadpole ours are about the size of the second from the top picture on the R hand size.... you really have to look for them but we cant get a picture of them because they are so tiny.


Today's POTD is courtesy of Mr S--- he found this on his way home from work--beauty in our back yard--well not really our back yard but you get the idea
