A new video in the morning. The Food Bearer says it shows off our bright colours. She says it looks as if we are in an opera. We like that. Our lives alternate between moment of high drama and peaceful contemplation.
New plants for autumn
We have two new ribbon grass plants and a fringe lily that will help aerate the pond water.
Here we are relaxing.
New Plants for Valentine’s
For a late gift the food bearer gave us some plants. We really wanted milfoil, because we eat it, but there hasn’t been any at the local nursery all season.
The cat didn’t get a Valentine’s gift. He usually gets most of the attention.
The food bearer made a video for us.
End of a Summer Day
It is just after the summer solstice and the sun is at its furthest point south, lighting up our guardian dragon as it sinks to the horizon.
Swimming into October Sunshine
It is a beautiful sunny day and we are enjoying swimming in our home, The Pond.
Spring Blossoms and Bees
It is spring. Blossoms are falling on the pond from the flowering trees nearby. Our human provider made a video of the bees buzzing in the crabapple tree near our pond.
The neighbour at the back of our place has cut down his high hedge, so much more light is now falling on the pond. The water is sparkling. We are pleased and hope our plants grow better, but worried that it might be hotter in summer than we appreciate.
Fresh Water: We thank the Hose
The food bearer took some of our water and gave it to the plants. It will nourish them, she told us
Then The Hose made a splashing torrent for us, filling up The Pond to its former level.
Thank you, noble Hose. We come up to thank Hose and stare at the food bearer. The lazy cat is still in bed. Then he comes outside. We watch as he attracts the attention of the human. But we are more beautiful.
