New Arrivals in Colorado and their pond construction

Via Peters and Sons Koi. They came in safe and sound and in very good shape. All Matsunosuke nisai. Many thanx goes to Toshio Sakai for picking the big showa and auction kohaku and also to Russell and Kari Peters for tempting Shila with the other two koi. She never could resist a good kuchibeni. The kuchibeni showa was in the silent auction at the Matsunosuke master class in Norcal and the last showa was saying "take me home" when we visited Peters and Sons koi in Martinez, Ca. The two bigger koi are about 20" and the kuchibeni 15", and the "sumibeni" is a little over 11".

We have mostly finished unpacking boxes and hanging pictures now in the new house and the pond with "enclosure greenhouse room" and filter out buildng starts construction next week. As we get deeper into the project will post pictures....for now...the beginning site...
