The neighbor up the road is an excavator,,in between when his backhoe his home,I have been hiring him to catch wet spots in the fields and get the springs piped into the pond,The last thing we did before I got sick was lower the pipe that crosses the driveway.The original owners of the property,put the pipe to high,,and half the field behind the pipe used to flood ot in heavy rain seasons.In years like this,half of the field would be yellow,and sometimes die,depending on the seasons rain.We dug out theold pipe ,put a new pipe much lower.Then went up to a spring in the field and piped that towards the big pipe.Left sort of a small retention pond in front of the big pipe that crosses the driveway,I was planning on picking rocks and placing them in the retention pond,I got sick so there was just a dirt hole there for a while now. My friend who does the stonework really gave me some surprise!!!!Him,,and the young fellow that helps him brought a load of stone .They made the retention pond form me as a surprise!Look what they did!!! [
and the water is running some from the spring too
the water drains under the driveway now,and heads towards the pond

In a year like we are having,with all the rain,in the past this field would have been yello 20 or more feet behind where I am standing for sure.When we drove down the driveway,,I couldnt believe my eyes.He loaded up a whole dumptruck load of stone,brought hem there,,and placed them!I called him,,and said,,how much do I owe you?My friend said,,are you kidding?? He said,,,do you think I would forget all the times you helped me? i m a grown man,,but it brought tears to my eyes!!!!
