Easter Sunday afternoon was lazy and delightful. Our neighbor's daughter had a Fairy Tea Party in the backyard. While we were enjoying watching the children play, we spotted a beaver and a pair of mallards in the creek. The mallards didn't seem at all disturbed by children running up and down the bank chasing them.
It inspired me to clean up the backyard and get it ready for summer playtime. Today I mucked out part of the creek. I actually enjoyed it; there is a certain satisfaction in throwing large, beaver chewed logs onto the bank that beats working out at the gym amongst frat boys. So much more to do, but at least I have my self-imposed marching orders--and a creek that's already pretty beautiful in its own right!
