Went Fishing

I think I have jinxed myself as far as my pond is concerned. We've been having issues lately with a leak - whereabouts unknown. This morning I went outside and the water level was down below the pump - not a good thing. All my fish were huddled in the very bottom just wondering what was going on - and where all the water went! Thank heavens for my neighbors and their huge pond. I rounded them up and took them over to his pond so we could let the water continue to leak so we could therefore find the menacing hole. Like trying to find a needle in a haystack. At least we got the fish out before the thing drained completely and they all suffocated. That would have broken my heart. It's almost too cold to be moving the fish around, so I might leave them in my neighbors pond and either retrieve them next spring or buy new ones.
