It's the first one I've seen since I built the pond four years ago. I'd been wondering if my neighbours' immaculate and sterile gardens were proving too much of a desert to cross.
But it made me happy, anyway :)
my pond suddenly burst into audio life a couple of days ago, bringing a big smile to my face.
my partner bought 3 goldfish for it three years ago, and they have multiplied amazingly, making it under the ice, and even a couple of days this dry winter when the level was down to just a bit of mud, which i hadn't noticed. i filled it from the hose, but thought they were a goner.
they're back....
last year, a new frog stow-awayed in a plant hidden under the leaves. when i transplanted it, the new frog hopped out, and i gave it a ride to the pond to join the tribe that had already self-installed in the pond.
build it, and they will come....
for months afterwards there was always one little voice that was out of synch with the symphony. you know they way they'll be going full bore, then all stop on a dime? (that's some conductor!)
well, there's be a lone solo that would go on singing in the gaps.
i wonder if he/she ever found a mate. ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
