After a year of work, the local lake is filled and water flowing over the new dam

Mushrooms
There are big clusters of these little mushrooms all over this week
River Trail
I took the Ryobi cutter along the river and found a Ranger-sized path. We got a tree puller, and have started clearing out the smaller trees by popping them out of the ground. Very fun!
Lisa challenge end
I hereby declare that, as of the eighteenth of this month, the restrictions outlined in my last post have been ended.
I understand that I am four days late in announcing this, and thus will throw four hazelnuts at myself.
Local Library
I’ve always known that half of the local library looks like a barn – cute, and keeping with the rural roots of the community. I never really questioned the aesthetic. Anya has been volunteering at the library a few days a week this summer. We took a walk around the property checking it all out after her shift one day — yup, half of it looks like a barn. But!
At the corner of the building, they have sculptures. A pig, a mouse, a goose, really realistic corn.
And an archway with a metal “spider web” that says terrific … the entire area is designed after Charlotte’s Web!
Seriously, people, it’s still JULY!
River View
ASM
The Void
We’ve been cleaning up the farm … but I don’t have any pictures for about a week.
Read Everything
We bought a fabric thing that is 1’x4′ — which seems like it would be the size of the item. It did not fit our one foot by four foot thing … so I measured it and was disappointed to discover it was not quite 4 foot long (it’s about 1/8″ short of one foot as well!). Read through the entire product listing to discover a “dimensions” about eight bullet points down. And it claims it will be 47 3/8″ … pretty much exactly the length I am measuring. So, yeah, read the ten paragraphs of description because sometimes they hide important details in there!
