Another excellent morning. I woke up at 5 AM and it was cold, but has warmed up to almost 60 degrees now. Two big surprises in that there is still a whole herd of fish in the pond and Bill has obviously started feeding them again. They came to the surface when I walked by taking pictures of the water and that led me to suspect, then inspect. Sure enough - there is a big bag of fish food in the van and the feeding bucket is still warm from use (not really, it's a metaphor). That's okay. I feel kind of bad about objecting to their being fed all Summer, but I feel even worse when 30 or 40 of the large ones die from being overcrowded during an algae bloom (and really, because this is more of an aphorism).
