The Dam

As I mentioned before, with all the snow meltoff, our dam was having some problems. The pond is slowly thawing, so it's been extra messy lately.



We had problems with it last season also, when we had muskrats burrowing their way through the dam. As you can see, that space where the pipe is, should be covered all the way across.



The new drainage pipe and the meltoff has created our own little creek on the other side. It's wild how loud the waterflow is, you can actually hear this at the house.



A few trees have fallen over, and we have small little lakes all through our yard. I videotaped some of this and will upload later, it's the lovely video where I talk about horse poop.



I know you're on pins & needles :)

Interesting. Nice photos. Glad I don't have to shovel snow, although hurricanes aren't as much fun as snowballs.

Leesa,

I love seeing pictures of your world. We have open water on our pond now and the first ducks are back.
