This was about a week ago, when I wanted to get a good shot of the barrels under the raft which my brothers built. For that reason, I walked toward the remains of the raft and one foot sank into the muck! I discovered that only the top was dry. 🙂

I had to reach about a foot or more into the muck to retrieve my shoe. 🙂

Since I was already sitting on the ground (or dried muck), I took a few pictures.

After getting these “close to the ground” shots, I went home, changed clothing and cleaned up my very mucky leg. I even had some muck on my camera.

I went back two hours later to see what was happening.

The excavator was deep in the muck. I can’t imagine how he didn’t get stuck.

We thought there might be snapping turtles in the pond, but they never came across any. They did see frogs.

I took my camera along on the 26th (about 2:00 PM) to get updated shots.

By now the muck was gone and they were working on shaping the new pond.

The drain that comes from across the road with a box to gather and control excess field water.
