Checked it out, and my house is almost a direct shot downward, and I can't
make out any pond.

My pond is the one below and to the right of the bend in the road, and the
house is north of the pond on the right of the road just round the bend (no
snide comments, please!) The clear almost square area below the house is
garden; about 1/4 acre, for scale.

The bass are waking up and prowling the shallows, except for the teenagers
which hang out near the lilies making rude comments to the passers-by.

I'll probably look for another koi; don't know if it will live in an
aquarium first as Walter did, or whether I'll get one too big for the bass
to bother.

Oh, and we've got close to 3 inches of rain in upstate New York since
Saturday morning, after a dry early spring. Just in case, what's a cubit?

Are both of those almost lake things yours? Wow...you are so lucky to
live somewhere with enough land to have ponds like that :-) Suburbia in
the UK very rarely offers that amount of space unless you are loaded
with cash....

Even if you don't replace Walter just yet, could you please start the
stories again - they were a great read :-)
