monday

bernie's back at work
i screwed up my morning coffee
and it looks to be a nice day today

i have laundry
ducks
dishes
and studio to do

i am almost done with my sisik scarf
i think will end up at approximately 350 rows
maybe i should make it 400?

and i just realized
the entire time bernie was home i forgot to take my thyroid meds
that will explain the slowdown around here by saturday and sunday

we did go to petsmart
we saw two parakeets that we liked one was white
and one was blue
we also saw a yellow one that was considered
we didn't get any as at the moment we didn't have the flights up and cleaned
we also didn't have any place for them to go

we also looked at the fish tanks
as i kept threatening to put the tank in the center of the living room
we have a 33 half hex that i got after my mom died
i needed something alive
we set that up in the bedroom and used it as a night light
our angel fish would breed every sunday morning and eat the eggs every sunday afternoon
we next set it up here
with guppies for dad to watch
then i put goldfish in it

this time i think just a few schools of small fish
most likely zebra danios
or a rasbora
something silvery and small
i had such a peaceful time watching the schooling fish at the camden aquarium

i had been planning on putting the tank up again when the studio was done
with either a mixed tank from the amazon river basin
or fancy goldfish which i also adore

now i am thinking just one or two schooling species

although bernie likes the aquadic frogs (we've had them a few times as well)

no more work on the pens
rain didn't help
and that is about it right now

    fish are far better than birds in the home. Much less mess, quiet and peaceful, not molting feathers flying around getting into food. And they lower your blood pressure.

    I had fish for 30 years or more. Love it! :)

  2. I'm not one for home-aquariums (too much work for me!) but I do like to look at fish. I like the idea of a little school of silver-sided fish. They are so graceful to watch as they all move together. I like frogs, too, but for the fact that they're kind of funny, not very relaxing.
