Waterfall revived, Millpond

With the more than half-an-inch of rain that we enjoyed over the past couple of days, the millpond was beginning to fill and the back pressure was proving too much for the engineering skills of the local beavers. This time, I didn't have to use my potato rake to breech the makeshift structure, and there was plenty of water flowing over the waterfall and into the Dragonhunter stream. With any luck, all the inhabitants will have made it through the drought unharmed and by next year, we won't have beavers around to upset the unnatural balance of what is, in truth, an unnatural stream. I delighted in the part I played in keeping the habitat viable, and I also delighted in the sound and sight of moving water. More to the point, my beleaguered wrists were happy that I wouldn't, for a while, have to be doing constant battle with the dam builders.
