Episode 7 of A Man & His Pond

Though only 15% of the 40 of us that voted thought he’d do it – Keith did get fish in the pond on Saturday, March 28!  He, Hannah and Julia went to buy them early Saturday morning.

The koi arrived home in water-filled bags, which Keith placed in the pond for temperature acclimation.  Hannah and Julia were allowed to pick out their own fish.  Bart:  Keith has forbidden me to show “Tortuga Giganta” until he’s nestled in the landcaping (still to come.)   So deep breaths!



Thanks, Hannah, for this up close and personal view of the butterfly koi.

He still has a’ways to go – but look where he was four years ago:

Just an outline in the scant topsoil and limestone…

And three and a half years ago -

This whole area is limestone – there’s a quarry about 2 mi. away.  Keith is the only man I’ve ever known to actually wear out hammers.  And he’s done this all by hand – solo – other than one afternoon’s help from a boy at church, and an afternoon spent with pond-lining friends.


So stayed tuned for Episode 8!
