Well, on July 4th we finally received some much needed rain. 2-3 inches in our area over night. As a result we are actually able to see some real water in our pond. A real relief is that the pond seems to be holding the water, meaning that a good bottom is present. Walking the basin, I discovered raccoon prints and the track of a good sized buck. Good deal, this means the wildlife understand there is a new drinking whole in the area. I hope to attract a lot of the natural fauna back to the area.
