A Little Froggy Today

I got lucky and had a chance to photograph one of our immense and LOUD frogs. We have about seven of these bulls and they will make a racket once it gets warm enough to think of romance.
I cannot help myself when it comes to taking pictures of our fish. They come when they see us and wait to be fed, which is just what I wanted when we put in our first goldies. As you can see they thrived. Lots of different colored ones appeared too, including all white, half white-half orange, and black and orange.
We feed them catfish chow pellets and the big ones can gulp them down, but the fry must only nibble until they soften enough to bite.
Watching fish swim is so relaxing. And at this time of year the water is so clear and inviting, but of course we never venture in. The dawgs will though.


I expected to be sewing all weekend, but my fabric won't arrive til this afternoon, so I finished my cardigan instead, even wet blocking it into submission as well.

This was my target design, and I wanted to make the pockets but ran out of yarn. I may try again with different yarn. I love the way the current one fits. So roomy and cuddly.
My sweater was derived from this pattern but the translation from the French was so difficult (for me) to follow that I resorted to my experience of making other raglan cardigans. Close enough. The yarn is Lion Brand Amazing, wool/acrylic and was wonderful to knit on size 8 needles.


The Dawgs are so happy to have free run in the yard, since the fencing extends to almost the whole property. But they stand at the pond dam wall on guard, barking occasionally at the loud log trucks.
One more fishy picture and then I'll quit...
