There is a marshy area at the bottom of the hill behind our house. Following the water up the side of the hill, I came to the source – a fresh water spring bubbling up out of the rock. This marshy area has been on the property for several years at the very least; our neighbors remember seeing it when they first moved in around that time. I don’t think it’s going to run dry any time soon without a prolonged drought. It may not be a heavy-running spring, but it should be enough to feed a small pond, which I plan to stock with trout. Right now it’s just making the current garden area a swamp. I’d rather have a nice pond than a mosquito breeding ground any day!
