[Magdalen] In the weeds

[Marion Thompson]

The day before yesterday I dug a modest pond, 100 gallons,  and now have 
a good geyser of water gushing upward.  It draws the eye and makes a 
goodly sound.  A garden must have water!  Or at least any garden of mine 
must.  The pump is sitting in a submerged large decorative Chinese bowl 
that was a wedding present back in the day.  I'm very fond of it.  It 
has a well-decorated outside, lots of scrollwork, and inside it has 
fancy goldfish swimming on the white field.  A nice artifact that, after 
all these years,  has finally come into its own.  See?  You can never 
get rid of anything ....
