Saturday was a very rainy day, and when the weather finally broke, we could see that the little beaver pond across the road had grown. It is quite a little water feature over there - it has spread to cover much of the hollow along some of the branches of the stream.
Some neighbors tell me that beaver dams come and go back there, but this is the closest to the road that we've had. Inevitably, we get a tropical storm one summer that washes the dam out, and all the debris blocks the culvert. Then the stream runs out of its banks and washes the road out...at least, they say, the state is quick to get in there and fix it, never more than four or five days, anyway.
When Mary and I took a walk down there to take a look at the pond, we noticed these walnuts on the road. There are actually a half dozen trees around the neighborhood. These nuts are lying all over the place.
