Spring Time and full ponds!

Well, this is a beautiful and exciting Spring.
This is the first time that all the new ponds and swales have been "tested" and filled.
I feel much more prepared for risk of drought with at least twice the storage capacity in ponds and much improved water absorption through the new "keyline" system of swales and ponds.
