pond #1, the 'trout pond' 1) fishing for my kids 3) beautify view from house 9) swimming in the summer 13) backup water for crops 22) fried fish or fish on the grill
pond #2, the 'frog pond' 6) attract wildlife 12) water cattle 18) improve water cycle in pastures 19) waterfall 24) frog catching for kids
