The days are gorgeous, giving us brilliant fall colors, new growth grass under the old, and a false sense that autumn will last forever. We also know a snowstorm is due this weekend.
As part of my fall preparations, Jaxon and I caught my last goldfish. Remember my goldfish experiment? Two years ago, Victoria bought me some cheap goldfish at Walmart for my fish pond. That winter, I placed them in two water troughs full of moss and slime. Then in summer, they’d come back to live in my summertime fish pond. Well, today Jaxon and I caught the last survivor to transfer him back to the trough for winter.
He is not exactly small anymore.
Pretty impressive, eh?
On to the new digs. It doesn’t have direct access to any wild flowing water. If he did flop out of the tank, he’d have to keep flopping thirty feet to some moisture, so I feel pretty confident he isn’t going to go wild.
There ya go, little guy.
Enjoy your winter!

Very impressive gold fish. Well done Jaxson on carefully re locating the fish.
Good luck to Jaxson. That IS a pretty big gold fish.
