We have a small creek that you pass over when you enter our association. It must be spring fed because it we have only seen it freeze over once when it was 20 below and the level always stays the same. That is until last week when it began to rise. Beavers have built a dam downstream and the water is up about 2 feet. Of course this has all the neighbors worried about the possibility of a road washout and even more exciting the chance to "blow something up!". So yesterday Ron and I launched our canoe into this newly navigable river and paddled down to see the new construction. Obviously it's not the Grand Coolie Dam but beavers are pretty clever creatures. They have actually made quite a nice little pool and the water is so clear you can see lots of fish. We don't think there is much risk of them going a whole lot deeper but we were overruled and the demolition will begin this morning. Thought you might like to see some pictures of the soon to be defunct Little Pigeon River Dam...and Ron and Luna of course!!

On Fire!!
This is my favorite time of year around here and this weekend is AWESOME! Temps just right, the sky the deepest blue you have ever seen and the leaves at their peak of gloriousness. Don't ruin my Mojo by reminding me that soon I will be bundling up with the backpack blower strapped on trying to rediscover my grass. Not mention what inevitably will be coming. Give me my day!!
