Have you thought about getting an aquarium? ;-) You're not quitting col
d
turkey are you?

========================Yes I am. :-) I don't want to have to worry about someone taking care o
f
fish, indoors or out, when we're away for a few days. Also, my husband
wasn't interested in ponds and fish so 90% of the work fell to me. I'm j
ust
too old to be doing most of it myself, plus toss in a little burn-out aft
er
all these years. I did a lot of soul searching and it was for the best fo
r
the two of us. The frogs will now enjoy the two ponds out front. I'm sur
e
they'll add to the local frog and slider population once free of the nets

and large koi.

We've also discussed moving to a smaller home with less land around it to

have to maintain. That's still up in the air though.

I'll still check in here since I will still have ponds..... I just wont h
ave
fish. ;-)
