Clear Creek Fisheries

 

 

 

 

 

We added a few new koi to the pond this afternoon. We went to Clear Creek Fisheries and picked out three fish from their large indoor tanks. It's been a beautiful sunny day for a change and it's was fun to see the farm and the acres of ponds.

Clear Creek is an old family run business and sells mostly game fish for stocking large ponds, but they had a nice choice of koi today. The owners also have horses, ponies, goats, sheep and a herd of fallow deer. The small, sweet deer keep their spots as adults and have beautiful velvety antlers.

Our new koi are now home and seem very content in their new pond, happily swimming and eating with the group.

A Visit to the Country

My husband is feeling much better and getting stronger after his surgery, so a drive to the country to visit some friends was just what the doctor ordered!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 A short drive out to the country on a pretty sunny afternoon was good therapy for Randel. And a visit with old friends was fun for everyone. Their bee hives are thriving and fruit trees and berry bushes are loaded with fruit. They have new chickens, ducks and turkeys that have grown so much from the pictures we saw of the little ones in the spring.

 And we came home with some fresh garden salad veggies and fresh eggs.

 

Life Changes

 

 

Changes. It's spring, a favorite time of year, and I haven't really enjoyed it. I've been too worried about my husband who had emergency surgery and spent the last two weeks in the hospital, some of the stay in the ICU. Thank you to all his wonderful doctors and nurses!

He's doing much better now, happy to be in his own bed, even though he'll still have to endure a few more days of IV antibiotics and a few more weeks of dressing changes. I've quickly learned a few new nursing skills and we seem to be doing well with his home care. I'm just so happy to have him home!

Meanwhile, our small restaurant is closed since it was mostly the two of us running it. It feels weird to be "unemployed". So my new job is taking care of him. We'll see how things go over the next couple of weeks, we may decide to sell it and take some time off this summer.

As anyone who goes through major life changes knows, we'll take it one step at a time. His full recovery is the most important thing. Thank you to all of our family and friends that have offered love, support, prayers and help. It means so much! It's time like these that remind us to cherish your family and friends and to enjoy life to the fullest.
