Welcome Winter

The storm of the past few days passed over and left a cold clear day. It feels like the first day of winter. From the NW corner up the Ravine Trail a rabbit dashed away north. The West Pond was looking full at 2.18 feet and the East Pond was stable at 1.50 feet. The flooding west of the Beaver Dam was gone.. dried down into the spongy gray black organic soil. The Western Wash was full at the Elm Bridge but barely moving. Four deer bounded away from the Woods east of the West Pond. The Woods were quiet and the clear sky was cold.
