My big brother has two one by his front porch and a bigger one in the back of his house. There is a hill in the back of his house and he made it so the water cascades down the hill into the pond at the bottom. I love to sit out there when we occasionally have a family get together and watch the fish and listen to the water. I tried to have a small 55 gallon one on my back patio but something kept eating my fish. I miss sitting out there and listening to the frogs at night.

Blue Herons are notorious for eating koi out of koi ponds. Some people put a netting over the pond to prevent it.
 
I can move it and wiggle my fingers it just hurts. I have been putting ice on it and it has helped some. I think it just was really swollen last night after the advil and pain medicine I took wrote off and that's why it was hurting so much. I had to take my wedding rings off when it started to swell after I fell.
sorry, but that's how my kid felt when she broke her arm. it hurt to twist but could wiggle fingers etc...It's kind of high to fall from a horse.
 
It was good until I fell lol we decided to let the horse run a bit but then my saddle started sliding to the side and I couldn't get Leo to stop in time for me to fix it so I fell. My left ribs, wrist, arm and hip is really sore. And of course as my luck works have it I didn't fall in grass I fell in hard rocks.
That must of hurt so bad Amanda! I hope you start to feel better soon!
 
Italian barbecue. Homemade cavatells. Some dork brought deviled eggs to an Italian barbecue. He must be mostly Swedish, that family will never except him.
