Linda Vickery 5/16/2019 6:28 PMWent for a walk today. Not very far but it was a good walk. Tomorrow if it is still raining I will clean house. And I need to clean out our fish pond.
We have 5 Koi fish.-
Jeanne Poirier 5/16/2019 8:39 PMCleaning out the koi pond can't be nearly as bad as the video I saw at Rocky Reach Dam tour today where they looked for lost data tags from fish in pond - disgusting!!
