The way we did it was dig a big hole with a tractor of choice put clay O T he bottom and sand on that leave a shallow perimeter, put some ****** willows and lily pads around the shallow parts and let it rain over the winter to fill her up. Come summer jump in and swim. Normally we would dig a pond to serve as a water cystern for live stock. In the summer we would put a pump out in the deep part and let it spray the water from the bottom to the shallow part with the plants.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe
