In general and overall, I'd say that our koi pond has been a good thing, a feature of our home that adds to the positive vibe of living here. But periodically the neighborhood raccoons come by looking for water, discover that there are fish present, and do their best to catch them for a quick snack. The resulting chaos is definitely not okay. Fish in a barrel kind of thing. Mostly the fish are good at avoiding capture, but every once in a while one goes missing, which is a real bummer, and not only for the fish. The other thing the raccoons like are the black stones at the bottom of the pond. They fish them out of the water and leave them on the side, as a warning, I reckon. We'll be back.
I hope your weekend goes swimmingly, fellow traveler.
