Default Stupid thunderstorms

ARg, my whole pond filled with mud last night from those thunderstorms
we had. Now I have to drain the whole thing. I hope my Koi are ok.

Mud eh? Can you just let it settle out?

I know your pain. One of my drainage ditches got jacked and I found my 2000
foot DIRT driveway that goes downhill filling in my pond. It made a 10' X
10' swell of sediment in it.

Please don't drain it out. Let it settle out. Koi LOVE
muddy water .... just ask the Japanese who have used
muddy water for centuries to grow out their championship
koi.

Apology accepted. I will cancel the curse I called upon to add minnows
mysteriously to your pond. Please allow 24-72 hours for the spell to clear.

She was being nice, and not mentioning that you have personally been
