Looks like she changed her mind. I clicked your quote to try to figure out how I missed it and it's been deleted.

Yes, same here when I clicked on it.

It's a beautiful autumn day.

I saw 6 woolly bears.
Most of them were on the pavement.

Now it's time to go home and make something for brunch. I haven't eaten yet.

We see redbrown and black ones, yours are really cute. They look well equipped for the upcoming cold weather.

It's out.
This is where it was stuck.

This is the overgrown, filled in moat.

Tucked back in under the white pine.

I'll be able to cut the grass in the chicken pen tonight.

Yay, DL! I'm glad you got it out.

I got the windbreak done. I'm sorry the panels aren't clear, as now the west side of part of the run is like looking at a milky sky. But it's out of the wind. I need to put some shower curtain material on the NW and SW corners.

It was very helpful to have a pretty good west wind as I was doing this. It held the panels in place while I adjusted their position.

You changed your user name while savouring your eclectic coffee mixture!

Yes I did but changed it to my real name keeps the folks from calling me like their dogs or chickens

Maybe just give it up and let it grow up......or plant some 'wetland' plants there?

General layout of my property.
The shed/future coop circled in green.
Red line is where there is a French drain with a pipe in it that drains off that area of lawn. You can just make out the hedge row above the red line that is about 7-10' inside my property line.
The blue line is where the moat is. It was dug along the property line.
The blue star is the neighbors pond.
The blue cross is my property that is so stinking wet the only thing I could ever do with it is dig it out and have a pond put in.
The red X is where the tractor got stuck.
Everything basically slopes to the road.
I will likely take up my neighbor on digging out the moat again during winter before things are frozen solid. I'd rather he went through the woods but trees would have to come down. Most of them should come down.
I just don't know what to do to prevent the moat from filling in again. The amount of rip rap that would be required to fill the moat in would be astronomical. That's a long line. I have 1.25 acres.

Way I see it. What have you got to loose if it is a pond area?
