Well, last evening we had more rain..... Kind of like the eye of the hurricane went over us, left us with a feeling of relief, and then the second round hit.
We missed out on the tornado warnings, city of Republic and east didn't though.
But we sure got some more rain. In fact, so much rain the pond is now full......
yep, probably 12 to 14 feet of water in the new pond, along with the pallets we didn't get out, the mud and muck that was still there. But the pond is full.
Dang near overspilled the dam in one area.
If you look at this picture, above my head you see the clean dirt row... that is the north end of the new pond,
the next picture is of the new dam from the west (house side) and the dam goes clear around to the left where the first picture showed plain dirt. The water almost breached the dam in the center of the picture. only about 10 inches and it would have been over the dam.
another view from the north side you can see the pond etal.......
Yep the pond is becoming a lake and we are ready for the weather to get hot again so we can use it for a swimming hole, but weather this weekend is highs in 70s, so may not swim for awhile.
Might try to get The Bus to bring his boat out and we could water ski ????? well ok.
but we will Celebrate Life

Your Cup Runnith Over...
or almost...
Guess I must be catching up to you on the ole age scale. Spend every night checking the story line to see if I missed anything. And then realize that it is still the work week and nothing exciting gets done until the weekend. Maybe I should just fast forward until Friday night.
Gotta figure out how to do.
Nice to follow the events at Haven Lee Farms....
CELEBRATE LIFE.........
