Well...we got hammered with the rain yesterday. We showed up at the farm on Friday evening after a visit to Oakwood to see Pat W. & his wife. The pond was ~1 1/2' low. I set an empty 5 gal bucket on the deck that night before retiring. We caught some serious showers that night and early morning. The next morning at daylight, there was 5" of rain water in the bucket. I walked down to the pond to view the situation and the pond was up to "full pool" back to it's original level. The watershed was still draining when we left, and we got several more showers yesterday after lunch as well. I hope the siphon kicked in and did it's job. It's great to be back at full pool. It hadn't been at that level since it quit raining last June. The water was pretty cloudy, but I expect no less. The pond hasn't cleared up totally since building it the summer of 14'...by the weather radar, it looks like we're getting some more rain today.
