So Sad

While Cecil was gone our pond and the flowers around it went into full bloom.  We put this pond in 7 years ago, the first summer in our home.  We started out with two fish Sammy and Sosa, Sammy died within months, but we kept adding a few every year.  Cracker and another unknown named fish came the following year. And the next year we added Hot Lips and also another unknown named fish.  So our five fish had a lovely life.  Unfortunately when Cecil came home I had not treated the pond with the barley extract and a new chemical to help with the aglae.  So Cecil added a little extra and the next day my fish all went on to fish heaven.  The kids were fascinated and devastated at the same time.  Cecil was going to bury them under our dining room window, but because of Kaiser I said their burial would need to be in a garbage bag.  This was our kids first experience with death.  And David is desperate to get some more fish, me I'm up in the air about it.  What to do????   Post a comment and maybe that can help me decide. Fortunately I took some great pics of the pond with all the beautiful flowers and you can just see my little fish if you look close enough.  I'll also post a pic from a few month back.
