Pond Chat / Baby fish catcher?

« on: July 30, 2012, 12:56:22 PM »

Hi guys, remember me? I know it's been a long time! Say do any of you know anything about the traps to catch the little buggers? I don't know how many are in there but my pond is way to big to try and net them? My big guys ate most of the eggs and I rescued all that were laid in the water floaters to a tempareary pond. Any thoughts on this would be more than welcome!!! Thanks, Debbie

Koi Corner / Minnow traps

« on: July 30, 2012, 12:45:50 PM »

Hi everyone. Say do any of you know anything about the minnow traps you can put in your pond, or know where one could be found? I have a bunch of them (Babies that is) and I think trying to net them would be more than difficult! Thanks so much!  Debbie

Last night I went to the Legasey dinner and auction. Well It wasent in the budget but I got it for only $50 bucks! It's 2 feet tall and about 3x3 all the way around. It has been drilled and a pump nipple mounted. It is a repleca of the big ones that are going up at the Legacey memorial.I'm even going to have a small brass plaque made for it In Memory Of Bill. Simalure to the bigger ones that will be going on the rock walls of the memorial for armed forces. I think it's so cool! Now to decide where to put it at ponds edge? Since I took the first bid I got first choice of the 3 that were made I took the bigest one of coarse.

All my nails looked really bad and broken of here and there so I treeted myself to a manicure and a nail job! Never done that before and now they look great. Got my hair cut to so I don't have to do any fusssing with it. Oh I know, now your gonna say pictures again right I'm getting really nervious and I shouldn't be.  I'm running around like a stupid chicken with it's head cut off, ao I slow down and go over to my lists take a deep breath and say it's going to be fine, just put everything on the list in and I'm good to go. But what if I forget something important? No problem, there are LOTS of stores in NY right? right? So anyways I'm just using nervious inergy here instead of getting ready for work don't mind me.Ok nuff rambling.

Chit Chat / Hay Eagel Eye! Sorry Steve! I can't spell that either. Eagle Eye

« on: November 19, 2007, 05:08:22 PM »

I thought of you today! I have a resident hawk who takes up homming here in the winter as there are lots of Quail and easy pickens. When I came home from work he was perched high on the hill watching me. I have a vidio of him one winter eatting a quail right on my deck rail under the covered part of coarse just out side my door. Any way he swooped down twords me and let out his mighty scream that sent my two old hens a running for cover, and turned away just feet from me. It was almost like  to say welcome home. Or get the He~~ out? not sure. Then I thought you old eagel eye youv'e been hanging around here now for the best part of 11 years are you saying hi or what? Any ways it was really cool. I thought about his free spirit, and it reminded me of you! Just thought I'd share that, don't know why? Just did?
