My family bought a house about 5 years ago that had a koi fish pond in the back yard. The thing is huge..HUGE. Measuring 16x20 foot and a few foot deep it boasts of lilies that flower an assortment of colors, cattails that bloom beautifully, frogs which sing and make babies (science, if you’re a Brunner child), and gunk. Lots and lots of gunk. So you say, clean the pond out Karen! Easy peasy! Well not so much. This thing sat unnoticed, unloved and uncleaned for about 3 years before we showed up. Short of draining and starting completely over which means plant life and wildlife, you have to spend a chunk of change to chemically treat this pond. So at a loss for what to do b/c we’d like to preserve the pond but are not sure what to do!? How does this relate to Gratatuesday?? I am grateful to God for this beautiful mess that is currently springing back to life. I am not the only one. Check this out.
This is the result of Jackson enjoying the great outdoors….LAST FALL! The
ball is split and stuck on the lillies.
Here is the other reason; the instinct to have life beyond oneself. To keep things clean and appropriate, there are 2 there...one is beneath the water.
Before you picture me and then picture the sewer I speak of, check this out. In all it's glory, it’s just beautiful!!!!
