1. Work is hard on one's hands. Currently, If I bend the middle finger on my right hand, it sticks there until I forcibly straighten it out. I think this shouldn't be.
2. Here are pictures of things which live in my pond.

goldfishes are hard to photograph because they live under water and my camera wants to focus on the water's reflections instead of the fishes.


If you cannot tell, this turtle is very tiny, about an inch wide. I had to sneak up on him very carefully so he would not swim away. Even as I took this picture he was getting suspicious and starting to edge away. There are two of these that I've seen. I have no idea how they found their way into the pond.
3. My sister Emily now has a boyfriend, and so spends much of her time away from home and (presumably) gallivanting. I am very disappointed because that is not the way we were raised--to willingly associate with humans! Oh, well. The man seems largely inoffensive. He's come over and had "getting to know you" conversations, which I've mostly avoided, because, you know, humans. My dad seems to like him. It seems that if you just keep agreeing with my dad, he won't stop talking. Funny how I never noticed this on my own. :)

1. your italics amuse me.
2. gallivanting?! SHAME!
3. your pond grew back?!
4. i bet you could make soup with those things.
1. I insert my italics tags with great care. I am glad they had the desired effect.
2. My disdain for this kind of activity is mutual and well-known.
3. Not the big pond, the little one. The big one is in the process of being dug out.
4. It would be a very small soup.
