The trickle 100 feet behind the dam of my 4th pond has dried up. If it was fed by a leak, the pond being down about 18" might have reduced the water pressure enough that the leak has really slowed down to the point where it does not make it that far, or maybe the leak is at that level either in the pond or the high spot in a sand vein. Or maybe the trickle was not the water leaking out at all. I don't have x-ray vision, so it remains a mystery. In the mean time, seedling cattails continue to sprout on the banks. Darn deer flies are a real pain! Been picking up a few deer ticks too. Our dogs are treated, but I always wonder if they bring some back to the house and they abandon ship (and we are the life boats)...
