Around the farm, we like to think of Brother Lew as the "visionary." He's the guy always thinking about the big picture, plotting strategy, basically the man with the plan! Well, this morning, Lew woke up and decided to dig a pond. With the help of a family friend, Lew got started today on his latest farm infrastructure project. (Your faithful blogger does wonder, in the back of her mind, whether perhaps Lew was just itching for a chance to operate some heavy machinery after a long winter...)Yes, that's right--there is now a big pond-sized hole alongside one of our pastures that did not exist yesterday! The hope is that this pond will catch the rainwater that runs off our upper fields and pastures and be a source for extra irrigation. (Not to mention, Lena and Baby Grif have to learn to swim somewhere, right?)
Hope you enjoy the pictures!
In eager anticipation of hot summer days and cool pond swims, I remain,
Delana (for Your Farmers @ Miller's)

| Lew says the pond will be 8 - 10 feet deep. Perfect! |
