Hello Friends,
I have my little whiskey barrel all set up again this season.
I had a great experience at the pet store when I purchased my 10 new little pond fish for .18 cents each.
The young man that helped me was fantastic. He was so kind and fun. He asked me what I wanted my fish for. I shared with him all about my little whisky barrel. He smiled and said "well, I will pick out some pretty fish for you, because usually these feeder fish are dinner for turtles or piranha!"
♥
I purchased two Florida water plants to go into the little whisky barrel too. The fish love hiding in the plants. This simple way of adding a little water feature to my garden, well, it makes me smile.
P.S
No turtles or piranhas allowed.
Super cute and I am glad that Marv passed that on to you. Nice remembrance of him.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th. Enjoy. xoxo Kris
Carla, your whiskey barrel looks great! It must be delightful to look out and see the fish
ReplyDeleteswimming around. I like all the rocks you put inside there too. Marv's 'welcome to my garden' sign is special, indeed. Adding some water to your garden is a nice addition, and it's refreshing to look at during the hot Summer months.
Happy 4th of July, dear friend.

Your whisky barrel fish pool looks great. Good luck with the little fishes. I love the welcome to my garden sign. Marv is admiring your little garden from above and never far from your heart.
ReplyDeleteTake care and enjoy the summer.

Darling!! Your fish are super sweet. We've done the same, gone to Petco and purchased the .18 fish and the people are the store are always so excited we're not going to use them for food. This summer some of those tinies are larger than my hand! Go little fish!! ps...love the memento from Marv.
ReplyDeleteLove your little whisky barrel and fish.
ReplyDeleteThat is nice you have Marv's Welcome To My Garden sign.
All the best Jan
Carla, I love it and the garden sign from Marv is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteCarla, your pond in the little whisky barrel is so cute! I love it! Lucky little gold fish to come home with you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious "water feature" as the real estate agents say! Just lovely, and how nice to see plants growing in it, too! Lucky, lucky goldfish -- they are said to be symbols of luck and long life -- but you gave them luck, too! To flourish and be safe in their whiskey barrel home!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July.
