Well it may be cold and rainy but the Japanese koi in Maratika pond are up and eating algae. they are amazing. They are determined to be fat and beautiful and fertile. and I think they’re gonna make it.
I’m planning to put Mother, our Kowarimono in Mandarava pond because she’s not pure Japanese koi. She’s a mixture. And we’re coming up to breeding time. So I’m gonna try to figure out how not to mix anybody up.
I love Mother but she’s not the same as the others. The odd thing is she’s not close to anybody, and I think it’s because she’s not the same as them and they know it. They are not stupid fish. the others pair up, even if not with their own kind. they know they are good fish. Well maybe there’s something off about Mother that we don’t know. But she looks beautiful to us.
[Student], get ready! The weather should permit soon!
