Total is about 26 acres. What is shown is about 2.25 acres.
Any time you like Rammy, I would suggest not standing on the pool deck and jumping in right now, you might break a leg.

Where is your garden?

Do you have solar panels on your house roof as well or just the free standing ones out in the back?
The pond is bigger than what it appeared to be when you were digging on it last year.

That triangular space at the bottom. To the left is the area I put the new fence around, replacing old falling down fence going north and to the west to that remaining piece of N/S fence (there was a "riding ring" in that area up to the dirt bath area. Everything west of that is newly fenced area. I still haven't pulled the really bad fence from around the pond. There are pictures of it here back a couple of years.
Hard to get the full pond picture from the ground. Don't have a camera drone
All the green at the south end of the pond is vegetation. Mostly gone now that I dug it out. The very light parts are ledge.The panels are only on the ground, no south facing roof on any building. Since they are on poles I can adjust their tilt seasonally. I didn't go with trackers because I've heard they are kind of questionable for longevity and we get a lot of wind here that would test their strength. In fact, the steel poles are sched 80 rather than 40 though that may not have been necessary. For a few hundred dollars I figured better safe than sorry.

You could climb atop your barn to take the picture.......
(I've had the same problem... trying to get a good overhead shot of my cow pen setup)
Your place looks good Bruce.

Top?? I think not! It was slippery enough on the shed part when I was planting about 700 roofing screws in it to cut down on the leaks.You could climb atop your barn to take the picture.......
