Episode 8 of “A Man and His Pond”
When last we left “A Man and His Pond,” Keith was introducing his koi to their new, watery home.
He’s made major progress since March, including replacing the back fence, which looked like this yesterday (yawn):
But now today – wow! Finally! These whimsical terracotta creatures have been buried in blankets in our cedar chest for four years.

Parrots, frogs, lizards, a dragonfly, a moon and sun – and a huge snake that I personally carried across the border at Laredo, when it was still safe to go there.

My favorites – the turtles. But watch the video. You’ll see we both have a thing for turtles.
Three months – we all heard it! So the backyard should be ready for prime time around Easter.

What’s up, Doc? A beautiful backyard!
In addition to all the pond work, Keith is also (again) coaching Julia’s church basketball team. So we have to work on the dribbling. But still – pretty good!
We went to a lovely wedding tonight of a friend at church. As I watched our girls enjoy the service and reception, I thought for about the millionth time: I hope they each marry somebody every bit as good as their daddy. Maybe we’ll have the ceremonies by the pond?!
