This summer Ed has been building a "pond" which has turned into Okhissa 2! It will be the Grandchildren pond with a great place for them to fish until they are tired of fishing. I can't imagine any of them being tired of fishing!! It was planned to be a three year project. The pier is built after a couple of months of "dirt work". Yesterday the Fish Truck came. For me, that was an experience I've never seen.
This truck was loaded down with fish that had come all the way from Oklahoma---and had survived! That in itself is amazing to me. Technology! The guy is Josh and he was very careful dipping them bucketful at a time and acclimating them to the pond water.
He put in about 20 carp which are grass eating fish to keep the pond clean. They were the biggest fish that he put in.
Then he put in catfish, coppernose bream and bluegill bream. The poor little things looked like minnows to me but they should grow fast. (That's where the three year project comes in!!) That and filling the pond which God seems to be handling quite nicely lately.
And then when it was finished, the guys do what they always do--stand around and talk about what they did! You can see that Sadie and I were feeling the same way--it was time to go to the house. I do have to say that I learned a lot and can't wait to go fishing with the grandchildren and Papa. When the deck is finished, I'll show you what it looks like.
