Episode 10 of “A Man and His Pond”
Posted in 
Flutterbys
The Easter Bunny brought Julia a butterfly kit – the kind where you provide food and a shelter, and send off for the caterpillars. Julia’s spent part of every evening worrying over those fuzzy little bugs – feeding them sugar water, making sure they were not too hot or too cold – putting them near the light when they needed it. Tonight, we let them go.
Julia is convinced they’ll fly back to visit.
They may come back to the pond to drink. San Antonio is in a prolonged drought.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how our family is changing with Rachel’s upcoming graduation from high school. She’ll be only half-ours when she’s in college and after that – she’ll be responsible for her own food and shelter. I’ve spent a chunk of every day worrying over this first baby bug – feeding her, making sure she wasn’t too hot or too cold – putting her near the light when she needed it.
Senior Awards last week – DECA State Competition in Fashion & Apparel, School Store Manager and Choir – Woot! She was the very last of 300+ honorees (whew!), so, lots of applause!
Lois and Hannah are coming right up behind her, with Julia bringing up the rear.
You rear them to let them go.
But I, too, am hoping they “flutterby” often.
Episode 9 of “A Man and His Pond”
The water is 60 degrees now. So the koi can be fed.
Notice the reflection at the water’s edge. I am going to have fun with my waterproof Olympus this summer!
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):
Boring!
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?!
