Not yet, these daffodils say. But I'll keep an eye on them.
When I arrived to walk around Lake Tomahawk the other day, the parking lot was closed and work was being done by earth movers (bobcats?) and a dump-truck.
Sorry these photos aren't clear.
And by the time we'd walked all around the lake, after parking in the other parking lot by the tennis courts...all the bushes had been removed.
What's going on, we said. These were pretty bushes. And birds liked nesting in them.
Next day we arrived just as it started to rain. This is what's left where the bushes used to be...
The good news was finding this tree had lots of buds on it.
My guess is they've spread some grass seed. The geese seemed to like it.
The bad news was the cold wind off the lake dissuaded us from getting all the way around even though we had umbrellas and were dressed pretty warmly. So we only got about 2/3 exercises...going one third of the way, then going right back where we started from. It was really nice to head away from the wind on the way back and be warmer.

So now people can sit in their cars to look at the lake, without those inconvenient bushes....or am I too cynical?
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like the end result! Perhaps people wanted to see their cars when they walked around the lake. Who knows...
DeleteDaffs soon.
ReplyDeleteSpring is on its way to you! Not sure I understand what removal of bushes did for the lake.
ReplyDelete...the lake has been a huge construction site.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be interesting to see what blooms where the seeds were planted. Looking forward to future photos!
ReplyDeleteWind is one of the most miserable walking conditions, especially if it's also raining.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame they'd remove those bushes.
