Haven't I Been Here Before?
Sometimes things have a way of happening again and again, sort of like riding a ferris wheel and coming around yet again. It wasn't so long ago that I was posting right here about the raccoon and my pond where all havoc has been raised by this furry little fiend. Well you guessed it, once again he has made a mess of my pond and only one day after I cleaned it up and repotted some aquatic plants for the spring. I have attempted to create "hiding places" within the depths for now, fewer goldfish. Likewise the plant containers have been moved to deeper waters. Around the edges, I have strategically placed boulders and stauary which, at least to me, would impede any prowler from perching, yet, at first light, the otherwise pristine pool was today a mucky mess! Off to the garden experts where they attempted to sell me a "water scarecrow". At this point, money is NO OBJECT since I am further frustrated by every forthwith fishing expedition! But this apparatus was nothing short of a large sprinkler head connected to a motion detector and supplied by your own garden hose. While it did indeed scare ME during the demonstration with its 3 second blast of noise and water, it was nonetheless a shower that would wet nearly all of the yard as well as require the hose to be strewn about in a rather unsightly manner. So my odyssey will continue and I have no doubt, unfortunately, that I shall be back this way again!
