I cleaned out and shut down my father-in-laws pond. He's gotten too sick to
tend to it and its gotten a bit run down. I thought I was going to have to
beat back the frogs with a baseball bat. Some were as big as my fist! I
had to laugh at the wife. She was pulling out some Ivy that had grown
around the pond and the frogs started jumping. I guess they caught her off
guard. She ran like her ass was on fire! I still get the giggles.

Too bad the pond had to be shut down. But I did inherit some huge water
lillies and lots of goldies.

Too bad he is unable to care for it. I hit 60 this month. I am not
sure what it is supposed to feel like, but I don't feel like I thought
people in their 60s do.

May the inherited fish thrive!

=============================
I turned 60 a few months ago myself. Those of us in good health don't see
any difference. Those plagued by poor health may feel like they're 80. I
hope to enjoy my ponds and fish for a long, long time. :-)
