I found it so difficult to relax, most of the day.

I worried about the fish.

And why they would not come out of hiding.

And called the pond place with a bunch questions. Like “why are the fish hiding and why won’t they come out to eat?”

And was told that I need to relax and give the fish a few days to adjust to their new home.

So I sat on the patio overlooking the pond for hours.

Watched their every LITTLE move.

And I find the shot below reflects my day. NOTE: the ghostlike fish in the bottom left. I don’t know how I captured the shot, but I love it. It looks like a goldfish should be there. It almost  looks like a ghost. Perhaps it’s a reflection playing tricks?

And it made my heart flutter just a bit to get the shot below.

Meet Shirley!

Yes, I named her and two others today.

And if Shirley is a boy, I’ll just have to call him Sherman and name his girlfriend Shirley.

It was around 4:15 when I noticed all 10 fish playing. Oh how I counted each and every one.

And watched as they moved around the pond in one large school.

And you know what else made my day?

The hubs not only was the first one out to the pond this morning, to check in on the fish, he also sent a message, later, to check in on the babies.

That right there made my heart skip a beat. And it makes me so happy that he really cares about these little guys and girls.

I’m sure we’ll be pros at this in no time.
