Hi Everyone,
Just an update - STILL NO RAIN!
I just got off the phone with Deb. I plan to defer stocking until the spring because my pond is getting lower and lower. I checked the annual rainfall for my county - we are 20 inches behind, and only have 26 inches year-to-date. Our avarage annual rainfall is 46 inches.
I think ML will be stocking his pond - he is further south and (i think) has access to water for his ponds.
After I stock in the spring - I will start up a new post to keep everyone informed of the progress.

Alligator: If you want to supply a campsite and put up with them, I can try and have my son's Boy Scout Troop come down to stay at your pond. It ALWAYS rains wherever they camp, sometimes to the point of forced evacuation!

I'll come down and wash my truck while the boyscouts are there. Lots of rain is guaranteed afterwards.

While Theo's & LBuck's suggestions are sound, I suggest you plan an outdoor wedding at your pond. Sure enough, you'll get some rain.
Granted you might have $10,000 to $20,000 in sunk costs for the caterer, band, minister, etc., but isn't it worth it?

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Gator, I'm pressing on and doing a nightly raindance...hasn't brought any rain yet, but no water turkeys either. I may be on to something.  Looking forward to seeing GGs in real life...Wednesday is GG stocking day.

ML, Good luck with your rain dance. I have several volunteers to have car washes, weddings and camp outs if that helps!
: )
Thanks everyone, sure enough if we did hold an event - the rain would come in spades!

ML, so the rain dance keeps the water turkeys away? Must be the 'funky chicken'.
