Really like your newest addition Jen.

A bit off-topic, but here it goes:

you mentioned hosta's and ponds, and it reminded me what happened a few years ago. I was working on my pond when two couples came by and stopped. One couple was from the US, and the man loved the way my koi looked. He told me he had some koi at home, and we talked for almost an hour. They walked on, and some days later he returned. He told me he collected hosta's, and gave me a hosta he bought at the garden centre down the street. We talked some more, and before he left, I gave him a catalogue from a koi importer from Japan, with descriptions of the different varieties. Because of this I ended up being interested in hosta, and have a few different varieties. Wondering if the man now has more or better koi?!

Sorry to go off-topic.
