On Turner Pond
We recently have had a mystery regarding our beautiful pond. The pond has an upper pond that runs down into a lower bigger pond via a small waterfall. Lately we have notice fish in the upper pond....IMPOSSIBLE. There is no way for these fish to get up there, yet we have rescued six fish to date from the upper pond. Now with the first two we just figured that fish eggs traveled through the filter system and were placed up there and hatched. Then when two more arrived we figured we just missed them the first time. We then drained the upper pond, caught those two and put them in the lower pond. At this point we were confident we had the problem fixed...WRONG....
We have once again discovered two more fish up there. It is impossible for these fish to swim up there, they are too big to fit through the filter and we are sure the fish fairy is not depositing orphaned fish in our upper pond. I suppose we will never figure this mystery out and that we just need to enjoy the pond and accept the magic fish that appear.
So each night ,as we use to sit and enjoy the wonders of the night sky and our happy fish swimming in the lower pond, we now sit and enjoy the wonders of the magical upper pond and look to the night sky in confusion.
There are mysteries that will never be solved and I fear this is one of them.
