the so called fence i build was not good enough, ever since the oldest one loved to climb it

there was no excuse anymore.
ones the youngsters (2 and 4) are able to swim i'll dug out the sand and start up a new pond. all is boring but playfull grass now.
it truly was magical the way my daughter fed the koi by hand lying in the grass.
via the www i sold all koi (toghether) to a guy with a much bigger pond leaving my wife crying, something i never expected.....
the catfish was fed goldfish and small fish i caught for him, worms and maggots were nearly taken out of my hands.
once a year it was bay-koi feast and his belly was about to explode.
it was wonderfull to see him swim around underneath the lillies. he is out in the wild now able to reach it's full size which is taller than myselfe.
