Changes at the lake

 

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.
