ELVIS HAS LEFT THE ROOM
This is an APB (an All Ponds Bulletin). Stinky is missing! He has been gone for about two weeks. Various theories have been put forward. One of the more optimistic is that Stinky is actually Stinkette and has gone somewhere to lay eggs. Or perhaps he got tired of eating fish food and Cheerios (a generic brand actually -dt) and went in search of better fare. I suppose the positive view is that he ate so much of the previously mentioned offerings that he was quite hefty and it seems unlikely that some other animal would have carted him away. Maybe he just felt like taking a trip. It could be that he did not like being called Stinky. He might have thought, "I am properly called a Musk turtle and Musk or perhaps Musky is a much more dignified name!" At any rate he is gone and I do miss him.
The good news is that since Stinky left the Koi, Scarlett and Rhett, have resurfaced, so to speak. I think it probable that the two events are related. I read, before we got the Koi, that the kind of turtle Stinky was did not eat fish. But perhaps Scarlett and Rhett had not read that fact, or at least felt that discretion was the better part of valor. At any rate it is good to see them. We also have some baby fish, whether they are baby Koi or baby gold fish I don't know.
I have been working on making a second root monster. I have a little cordless electric chainsaw (Mrs. T has three chainsaws now. –dt) which makes this a lot easier. It runs on batteries so I am not limited by the cord (She tended to cut the extension cords with the other electric. –dt); I can turn it on without jerking on that darn rope, and it is a lot quieter. What could be better!
I also have started doing my YOGA again. Dan on the other hand made a blackberry cake with fresh blackberries. Mmmmmm!!
