Default Bigger pond

Congratulations on the grand venture. I am jealous!

So that is about 20 x 40 yds! How deep? Quite the natural pond!
Will it also just stand there waiting for Bob? Or will you put a pump
on it?


We only got about 1/4 of an inch of rain yesterday, and right now
there is only about 10 inches of water at the deeper parts. The thing
looks like a giant mud puddle again, more mud than water. When full
it should be 4 1/2 to 5 feet deep. There is an aerator in the pond,
but no water pump, nor do I plan to add one. If Bob (the snake)
returns, I'll probably have to move him, but I'll deal with that when
and if it happens.

Pics would seem to be in order!


It is so ugly right now it has broken every camera I have tried so
far. When it looks better I'll be trying again.
