The key to a nice-looking lawn is a good mower. I recommend one who is muscular and shirtless.

Well, yeah Sam, how'd you know it's a youngun? And better still, how do you know he's a HE? Did ya look? He's beautiful and thank goodness he doesn't have one of his fish in his mouth! We have them around here but I just haven't seen one in a long time. I'm still frettin' over the "chachacha" 'ing kingfisher with the crazy hairdo that's still flying over my pond. The weather has been mild and the fish are coming to the top again. That kingfisher is hangin' around here too. I'm skeer'd I'm gonna be cleaned out one day.

Here's another Heron shot. From the pond at my old place.

So beautiful. Toots' son had one clear his pond of fish out a yr. or two ago. He lives near me and I know they are in the area but it's been yr's since there's been one near here that I've seen. I love them but don't like them. Make sense? Stay far, far away Mr. Heron.
