Patty took a tour on the ATV to see what happened around the farm. \u00a0I was mostly worried about the big pond and the overflow as I&#8217;ve never seen it overflow before, although I suspect it had. \u00a0Our first stop was the driveway where it crosses over the stream that feeds the pond. \u00a0Seeing this I was pretty worried about what I would find at the dam.<\/p>\n<div
