When the afternoon sun finally warms
the pond at Mackenna’s house, the koi fish begin roving just under the
sun-struck surface. Yesterday,
during the warmest hour, Mackenna and Grandma CC fed the fish as they gathered
near the shore.
I am not sure why, but I find feeding
the pond fish with Mackenna to be one of the most satisfying rituals I have
engaged in for many years. Something
about the sun and calm water and the biggest fish gathering near the shore
where Mackenna stands flinging out handfuls of food against reflections of sky.
