Early Morning Adventures

This morning, almost 4 hours before I'm normally awaking on Saturdays, I went on a lovely fishing trip with my brother. 

The beautiful, smoky mist hovering above the lake.

The sound of birds singing morning songs in the trees. 

The turtles splashing about. 

The lily pads floating on the still water. 

It was perfect. 

New Fish

So this morning my little Philip died. He was 4 years old so he lived a long life! We went to the store this afternoon and I ended up getting another fish. I haven't named this little guys yet but I think he's beautiful! I've been taking so many pictures of him.

Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone had a great Halloween. This year I dressed up as Hipster Snow White and Philip was Prince Philip (of course!)

Turquoise Art

I finished my lovely painting of Philip! It turned out so bright and colorful. It seems to complete my room and is a great reminder of my precious little fish. Here are some pictures of the painting process.

Cute and Cozy

I knitted a mug cozy and a fish bowl cozy! Philip totally loves his fish bowl cozy!

Meet Philip

After owning chickens, rabbits, horses, turkeys, and a dog, owning only a fish is a strange transition. I've had a lot of bad luck with fish so I often wake up half expecting Philip to be dead. I've somehow kept him alive for 9 months now, which is a first! Even though he often wakes me up at night with his little bubble/ splashing noises, I love my little Philip dearly. He's the best beta fish a girl could wish for. He's also named after Prince Philip in Sleeping Beauty....which simply makes him that much cooler.
