Hi Daren:

It's been pretty grim here in NH, rain-wise. I still have only a massive hole with a tiny bit of water in the bottom. The ground water keeps trickling in, but Mother Nature has not been stepping up to the plate with any significant rainfall. The only real difference is the green peach fuzz that is sprouting all around the pond.

I can't say I'm surprised. I knew that as soon as I finished digging, we would have a drought. Just like I knew a few years ago that as soon as I bought my tractor-mounted snow blower, we would stop having any appreciable snowfalls. It's just the way it is.
