[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 116327, member: 968"] whistleing for for the dogs :shock: We're still bone dry. Milkweed plants are dying - never made a pod!!! Trees are losing leaves. Getting VERY serious. Remember the old timers said something like "too much rain, you'll always have something to eat - too little rain, can starve you & your animals" (that's not right - but you get the drift?? Hay is getting costly & non-existant around here. Just had a 2.5 acre pond dug where there was a swamp/creek. Well - USED to be wet - when the crew started & finished - it's just a dust bowl - although they did run into water on the bottom of the pond - which REALLY worries the contractor. He says, if water can come in - it can go out with the pounds of pressure created above it. We were thrilled he hit water. Got a little mini pond started in the bottom. He's a nervous wreck. Built a mini dam around the water hole in case it doesn't hold water, we can drain it without losing ALL the water in the pond. Which actually creates nice structure for the future bass we plan on raising. We plan on adding old tractor tires for structure - anyone know any reason we shouldn't (other than something to catch our lures on)???? They piled up some nice big rocks in one area. I'll post pics soon, but I expect it to be empty for a long time. :( [/QUOTE]
