Due to the over two month long drought, we've been on water restrictions in town. As if not being able to take my usual forty-five minute/once a week shower isn't bad enough, now I see the pond at the college is so low, Sam and I can count most of the normally hidden frogs sitting along the banks. (Currently about 18, FYI.)
It's hard to tell from the photo above but the water level should be about a foot to a foot-and-a-half deeper.
This is what it "should" look like (minus the ugly white fence and the stripping of anything nature-like along the banks)...
Notice how the water level is well below the pipe in the drought-stricken upper photo yet overlapping the bottom of the pipe in the used-to-be-almost-normal lower photo.
I don't know when we'll be getting any significant rain but I hope it's soon. I'm already getting bothered by those frogs looking up at me with those 'WTF' expressions.
