I had to redecorate something....

I worked on the hillside again yesterday (another 2 wheelbarrows full of brush) and managed to to get into a large clump of something I am allergic to- mainly because the hillside is full of whatever this nasty thing is. I think it's a relative of the nettle family (which to my horror I also have a ton of) but it's giving me a horrid contact allergy. My son is also allergic to something out there, so we are staying inside (mostly) for a few days.



I decided to re do the fish tank. We told the boy if he didn't mess with the tank we would get him fish. ( I just kept having thoughts of him pulling it over onto himself etc... he's only 4 you know) He has (for the most part) left it alone, so next week we are getting him goldfish. I kept large fantails when I was in college (one got to the size of my hand) so I feel comfortable keeping them now. Here is the old tank -( this was this winter and the bar/table wasn't complete yet either....)and the new, improved one......

I still want to put a t valve in the secondary pump so that I can get one of those tacky pirates that come up out of a trunk for Max. He likes those things....
