Why Rake The Water?

.
Some folks have nothing to do, others dream up new jobs.

I've raked leaves.  I've raked a garden.  I've raked rocks.  I've racked gravel.  I've raked wet concrete.  I've raked hay.  I've raked hot coals, and have been raked over the coals.

Lo, Lo, I've done it all.   I've also raked water!


After a three hour weed-eating job around the pond, I found myself scooping out as many of the chopped grasses as I could reach. That dumb task, hard on my feet standing on a slope, took an additional hour. I didn't want the stuff to rot in the water and give the scum a chance to get started.

It was worth it.  It sure looks purdy!
