What a beautiful pond! Complete with multiple waterfalls, fish & some beautiful plants. I hope this brings a little Zen into your day 😊
Sit by this waterfall & listen to the birds & let your cares melt away.
Have a great Monday!

If you don’t have a Water Garden & keep Koi, you don’t understand how attached you get to your Pond & Fish! You just don’t understand how going out and interacting with your fish and hearing that waterfall literally takes you to another place… Almost instantly, you calm down… Your blood pressure goes down… Your breathing smooths out… It’s like… Magic! I Love My Pond & I LOVE my Koi!
Love your Koi & keep your Koi happy and healthy as we transition into Spring by feeding them quality Cool Temperature Koi Food | Carters Nursery Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee | I ❤️ Koi!
As you know Koi are huge in the culture of Japan. I love learning more about Japan & about Koi. I’ve been blogging about Koi every Wednesday for the last year & have learned a lot of things in the process. I have also tried to pass along some good information to you through my BLOG. One thing I have had fun learning more about is their language & about Kanji – what is kanji you ask?
I wanted to share a similarity that I thought was Awesome! The word Koi in English means decorative carp of course. But in Japanese it has more than 1 meaning, and it makes complete & total sense to me 😊
This Kanji means Koi. It’s also the Kanji for Love ❤️ Makes sense to me 😊
恋は盲目
Koi wa moumoku / Love is Blind!
恋に師匠なし
Koi ni shishou nashi / Love needs no teaching
Both have the common Kanji
Koi &/or Love…
Isn’t that cool?! 😎 Going to the Koi pond is truly going out for a dose of LOVE! Bam! 💥 Write this down! – “KOI = LOVE”!
Happy Pondering! 🤔

I love to sit and watch the Koi swim and eat. It’s a daily pleasure for my whole family ☺ Watch this short video and I think you will see what I’m talking about. Feel free to stop by the nursery during business hours and feed them yourself! Be careful, the “Koi Bug” might get ya! 😁
