I can leave the pond today after I am satisfied with how things are,
yet first thing in the morning and going down to the pond to wake up
with a hot cup of coffee, I will still start to piddle around and most
times the coffee gets cold and I am off to playaing around with the
pond, plants, fish. My wife gets burned up with me always fiddling
around and not just letting it alone. Especially when I ask her what
fountain nozzle she wants on the fountains, etc..........I wish I
could just let things be, but there is always a blad eof gras here or
a miss shaped leaf there, or something that needs to be tinkered with.
