Our Pond Runneth Over...
When we first dug the pond, it only took two months for it to fill up. It’s spring fed, so that made a difference. I'm sure it would have taken a lot longer if rain falling in the pond was the only source of water.Then came the drought. Months and months of little or no rain, and the water in the pond went down, down, down, until it looked more like an overlarge mud puddle.
Lately we’ve been getting more rain and the pond slowly started filling back up. When I went outside this morning, I was thrilled to see it is totally FULL again.
The water is right up to the overflow pipe. Who'd have thought it would be so exciting to see water running out a pipe? 
Ahhhhh, the lovely sound of running water....Hooray! Here’s hope we don’t see such low water levels again!

A full pond is security to me. There's enough water. On a farm we seldom get to say there's enough water. The video is great. I love the running water and the birds in the background.
I know exactly what you mean about the drought. Living in Georgia, we experienced a shrinking pond this summer too. We are thankful it is full again now.
Enjoyed looking at your site.
