Mysteries of the Pond

Dude! We hiked all the way out to the pond and it was all dried up! It just had a layer of slime on it… ewww. But it was fun to look at for a little while. Makes you think about all the little animals that live at the Hacienda. I wonder where they are getting their drinking water from if our ponds are all dried up? I wonder if they all travel over to the Golf Course to get their water? I wonder where we would have to get our drinking water from if we depended on the water at the Hacienda. Both ponds were dried up and so we ended up at the pond behind the Straw Bale house where there was a really neat layer of some organism with cool things growing on it. Sweet! I’ll try and upload some pictures a little later!
