I just came up from my pond area rather disgusted. I came in to cool down when I sat down and read this thread.
Some of us just have to step back and realize just how fortunate we really are.
I was attempting to mow the grass down by the pond. I am now heading back down with my tractor and a chain so I can pull my lawn tractor out of the muck behind my pond.
My water level has been at or above the standpipe since the end of September last year. Last summer it only dipped below the standpipe from about mid-August to mid-September, when it was down a maximum of about 12 inches.
Those of you in the Southwest, Southeast, and North Central area have my sympathies.
Snow in mid-April, and muck and high grass in mid-May is good, even if we don't think so at the time.
