the suggestion to move the water lily to a tub outside the pond has worked. the
first leaf has just broke the surface. poor little tiny thing that it is.

I cuisinarted some raw shrimp which turned into a paste. I ended up HAND FEEDING my
koi when they mobbed me. wowoow. I think I am going to grind some, freeze it and
float it out there for them. they really like that stuff. Ingrid
