4/28/07 UPDATE It continues to be a pretty wet spring...and I continue to be surprised by the steady surges of increased volume. I am beginning to see a very acceptable pattern of inflow that actually exceeds my expectations. It seems that even when we get a gully washer rain, my inflow is only strong...not substantial. Yes, maybe a little slow, but maybe not. As of this weekend, we are 25" short of full pool. Considering we corked it up last July, we have moved along very steadily for nearly 10 months. There have been some killer rainstorms, but we never experienced overwhelming inflow. Only a steady, strong increase. I like it. - - We planted a bunch of cereal rye last summer and fall. Man, is that stuff cheap...I couldn't believe it. A 60# bag is $12. The dam has filled in nicely. We are now easing into the next new eye-candy experience as the trees fill in. Yep, pleased so far.
