Pulled grass getting ready to seed, tall grass, pulled some weeds, pulled some bog plants, they were blocking some of the flow. While pulling a weed near the last loop pond, it let loose, I fell backwards into the pond. It is shallow, no damage, just wet. Everything is on growth hormones this year.
Now wet went wading in the first loop pond, deeper than I remember, around 3 feet. The deer had knocked a bunch of rocks into the bottom. They had eaten the lily leaves tore it up a bit, so pulled it out, poor thing was covered with large rocks that had been knocked in.
Arrow pointing to small lily left alone, circle around the munched down one. Can't see the rocks, covered with muck. you can see one of the big rocks, blue line , didn't know so many were in there until I was wading, felt them with my feet.
This is a slow flow pond that gets dirty water from the big pond. Meant to be a plant pond but now has fish.
Got piles of stuff everywhere I need to get the tractor out to haul back to the woods. Old muscles started hurting so took a break.
