Thursday's things.........

 My red raspberry patch has doubled in size in two years.  The summer rains have really cause the rapid growth.  We will have to freeze a lot of them because you can eat only one pie at a time.

My koi gets shipped out to the tank in the garden today.  He had a partner but he jumped out of the tank last year and I found only the bones that were left behind on the ground......cat or raccoon.

Cichlids originally came from Africa and South America so they like to be outside. He is a lot more tropical than a koi but he still thrives out in the tank with the goldfish and koi. He had a partner that looked just like him but he has been gone for quite a few years. This guy was a gift from one of my students at school many years ago.

My wife Della and I will be celebrating 27 years of marriage today.  We are not planning anything special for today but maybe this fall we can do something special and travel somewhere. I am a very lucky man to have such a wonderful gal.

Thanks for stopping by.............
