January joy

neverspentI haven't been able to post much lately, but here's something happy from a few weeks ago. I always worry just a little about the goldfish in the fountain when I'm not at work for awhile—how will they be when I get back? Will they have suffered setbacks? Traumatic cleanings of their pond? When I returned to work in January after a few weeks off, this is what I found:
I remember when I was counting them every day... nine? Thirteen? At times I was sure they were down to only five or six fish. But now I can't even count them all. And the pond seems to be supporting them just fine!
As a followup to my last post ("Spring in winter"): yesterday, February 1 was Bluet Day, the day I see the first little bluets. The daffodils and tulips have broken the soil, as well.

But at the same time, I had spotted a couple of really, really tiny ones, and I've never seen a pet store sell baby goldfish that tiny. So maybe eggs!
