The world outside our windows is frozen in snow and ice. To get some relief, Dan and I started scrolling through photos of last year. We absolutely swooned at the photos of our irrigation pond. We love that place! Duinincks dug it for us in the fall of 2012 after we hadn't had rain in 9 weeks, and what a blessing that pond has been! Pontooning, swimming, skating...even sledding down the banks in the winter though I don't have a photo of it. Oh yeah, we use it for irrigation, too:)

| Here are some photos of the pond in it's infancy. Thanks Duininck Companies for doing such a great job shaping the dirt! They shaped the land to direct water flow in such as way as to minimize erosion while maximizing retainment of rainwater and snowmelt. Water management is essential for us since strawberries are a perennial crop! |
