I Got Distracted Again

This was my first fun project. I moved the fishies to a smaller pool. The other one seemed to be starting to leak. So I will be throwing it away. I also wanted to move things around a little bit on the back porch.
Then I started working out front. I took the round bale feeder out there so I could hang Scruffy higher. It also holds my rope light up better. I got my saucer moved some too. I just need to finish placing it and then take my alien out. I do need to cut a branch out of the tree. It's in the way now.
Needless to say, the house got ignored again. Maybe tomorrow. I don't know if there is any football games then or not. Hubby couldn't watch Ohio State today.
Hope you had a good day.

I hope so too. Hopefully the smaller pool works out well for them and keeps them safe through the colder months.

I was wondering the same thing when I read the post! I am guessing they are real fish since she moved them to a smaller pool.

That sounds like a nice little aquarium project. Hopefully you get around to putting the betta in soon. It is funny how we can have things sitting around for ages before finally getting to them!

The house will be there tomorrow. I had a good day. So nice around here with the lower temps.

Haha, I agree! The house can wait when there are more interesting things going on outside. Hopefully hubby gets another chance to watch Ohio State soon.

George sais you were setting up a pool for him to play in today. I hope he enjoys it. 
Are you going to climb in and play with the fishies, too?

Outside work is much more fun. The housework will still be there tomorrow and the next day.

I did enjoy my day working at home sharing a news story and completing surveys.

Sounds like you had a pretty productive day, even if the house got pushed aside again! Sometimes getting the outdoor projects done is much more satisfying anyway. Hope the fish settle into their new pool nicely.
