Fisher's Tin Can Heads

This is a project Fisher was going to enter into the fair but, the pieces wouldn't stay on well enough for all the handling. We just added regular magnets on the back of the pieces. Later, I found super strong magnets at Joann's. Oh well, they're a lot of fun to make. I keep them on the island in the kitchen. They keep Thatcher busy while waiting to eat.

Goodbye Ol' Huck

Poor little Fisher found Huck Finn floating in the aquarium Friday. I'm afraid I may have been responsible :(  I tried adding him to the big aquarium earlier in the week. I was tired of looking at a dirty fish bowl day after day. I changed his water often but it would start to look dirty after a day or two. I thought he might prefer the nice clean tank. He seemed to be adjusting. He lived a long life for a beta. He had a cataract covering one whole eye and another had started to form on the other. He was having trouble finding his food.  He was our favorite fish.

He is missed.
