there's a little pond in our patio area, mostly muck hardly water. i wanted more water and less muck....so i emptied the pond out (by carefully filling buckets with the water, and then pouring them through a strainer to save the gambusia mosquito eater fish.....this took some unpleasant hours.)
then i rode down to the fish store (which was the scariest bike ride i have ever been on....think of whizzing highway traffic passing you merely inches away because there is no bike lane...) and got two small koi and some floating plants. it was very nice looking until the raccoons took to dipping their muddy little paws in the water......i've taken to chasing them off at night with a broom.
at least mishchievous cats still enjoy the view and like to cool their tails off in the water......
