Large and samll ponds have slowly increasing water levels.
All small streams (<5 feet wide) have flowing water. Larger streams are still a bit low but with plenty of flowing water.
Beaver flowages have a bit more water and the outlets are flowing.
Freshwater wetlands are getting greener just in time for fall.
Grass about the house needs mowing again! Dug a couple of post holes Saturday and the soil was moist to at least 3 feet below ground level. I could clump the soil in my hand.
Skunks and raccoons are thriving and we get daily visits from two large flocks (10-12 birds) of wild turkeys.
A few of the maples (red and sugar) are starting to change color.
