Our Koi Field Trip
By Lynn, on September 15th, 2007
We really enjoyed our trip to the landscaping business that has the beautiful ponds and huge koi. My daughter did not want to leave. The owner gave her a big bunch of food to feed to the fish. He was so nice. We could have stayed on and on, but I had to get home and get ready for work!
Isn’t this gorgeous?
We were standing on a nice, sturdy bridge over the water. My daughter loved feeding the fish.
As I said she didn’t want to leave! I personally enjoyed looking at all the plants. Look at these water lilies.
I tried to get a picture that would clearly illustrate just how big these fish are! You can see in comparison to my daughter’s arm how big one of the fish is.
Last is just a picture of all the fish swimming out to get the food that’s just landed on top of the water.
We bought a water hyacinth today and got a few free little fish. I think I am going to need a bigger pond! ~:-D

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
