Ahh, beautiful Fall's Park pond!
Well, at least from a distance it's pretty. A closer look revealed a bunch of dead fish; so sad.
Some of the fish were HUGE too. I'm not even sure what kind of fish this was, but it was really big:
The dead fish I noticed most were catfish and a few bass. It's such a shame.
The town of Pendleton stocked the pond and used to have the fountains working.
It's too bad the winter was so harsh on all these poor dead fishes.
I had some errands to run, and while I was out, I stopped at Saxony Lake to check it out.
No dead fish were spotted, but the lake had an iced glaze over most of it.
A few spots were thawed and I was hoping to see fish swimming around-- no such luck.
Later in the day, Sophie and I did some more hiking at the quarry.
I didn't see any fish there either, dead or otherwise.
In other news, Troy bleached our cat, Dustball. JK :) He held a kitty at Pet Smart. The salesman asked me if it was okay, I hesitated and agreed. Then Troy put the kitty, Marshmallow, down inside the little room and Marshmallow crawled underneath all the cages. The salesman tried to get Marshmallow (who was having a hissy fit), but the kitty was stuck. A manager came in, along with three other sales associates, and after 40 minutes+ of rearranging, they got Marshmallow back in the cage. Troy looked at the salespeople and said, "May I hold another kitty!". The manager looked at his watch and replied, "We will be closing in 6 hours.". :)
We have a vacancy in our back yard bird box. I'm eager to see who will be moving in this year. Kinda hoping for a flying squirrel family.
The little crick in the yard has a heart in it. :)
