SEPTEMBER MORNING IN THE CREEK

By dawn today, the beavers are returned to their lodges after another night of construction which has harvested a good number of trees from our pretty wooded bottomland. The housing industry for beavers hasn't slowed in the least.


P.S. Saturday night Sept. 25... Friends have come up from the bottomland to tell us we can plan a garden there for next summer; the beavers have girdled most of the trees. Oh well, next year we can see the devils; too many trees this year. An ODNR nuisance permit is in order.
