view from the fluming

Hubby almost finished cleaning out one of our dams. Lots of silt built up over the years. Ready for the rain to come. Anytime soon would be good.

Fingers crossed for rain and lots of it :)

Oh gosh -- this is such an unusual scene and so intriguing!

What is that in the middle?

[Gina Rieck]

@777margo That is a 16 year build up of silt. Mud that has settled to the bottom of the dam over the years. The only good thing about this drought is that we can get in and clean the dams out.

@gmonty Do hope the rains come soon to fill the dam

Would the silt be pretty good topsoil Gina? And I had to look up the meaning of Fluming.

@terryliv I don't think the silt is good for anything, too much clay. I'll look into it. :)
