Well, the pond's water level is down about 3 feet.
We are behind about 6 inches in rain.
Please send your left over rain this way.

Brandi, your pond and the surrounding area are looking very nice. You've got yourself a very relaxing spot that will only get better as time goes along. I think the size of your pond is very manageable. The more the grass fills in around the pond, the clearer it will become. You'll be able to easily see your fish and minnows.
One thing that concerns me is that the pond is doing what I feared when you first posted about water seeping into it and partially filling it. I think your pond is leaking and your water is going into the water table when the pond fills up. The fact that water seeps into the pond means that water can seep out also. If you want to stop that, you'll have to add bentonite clay or a liner. Otherwise, the pond will lose a lot of depth during dry spells. If it stays at a manageable level, it may be okay. But, if you want it to retain more water and stay fuller, I think you'll have to remedy the seepage issue. Either way, it's certainly a nice setting.![]()
