<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folk</font><font face="Comic Sans MS">s,<br>
<br>
Wasn't yesterday great? I'm hoping for the same again today, but
tomorrow the forecast looks pretty damp. It may rain on the Green Frog
Festival, (but hey, frogs <u>love</u> water!) Then Saturday we're
going to keep our fingers crossed that any wet weather goes around us
and doesn't rain on our EOSC picnic. (At least it's not supposed to
snow this time!) <br>
<br>
Speaking of liking water, I was totally surprised the other night to
see a beaver down the hill from our house. We had some down there a
few years ago and they would industriously build their little dam and
dam up the little creek that goes under the low water bridge at the
foot of the hill below our house. Then it would rain and some
neighbors upstream would complain that their back yard got flooded, and
here would come the county workers with their backhoe, etc., (weapons
of mass destruction), and tear up all the beaver's hard work. We went
through this cycle a few times, and then the beavers either got killed,
or relocated or just gave up in disgust, but now it looks like we've
got one back in residence. I enjoy watching their constructions going
up and occasionally seeing them swimming or walking around down there,
but of course it's not my back yard getting flooded. Maybe we can get
the county guys to dig a deeper hole for the water to go into rather
than having it back up into someone's yard. Then the poor beavers
could be left in peace. Think about it. Those backhoes are to them
about like a tornado or a Hurricane Katrina to humans. They lose
everything and have to start all over from scratch. <br>
<br>
You Biggest Loser participants, don't forget to weigh in today. It's
not raining, so you won't get wet this week. We're getting down to the
home stretch on this thing so get over there and see if you've made any
progress.<br>
