Climate Change Comes to our Backyard!

This November and December has seen some record high temps. It is more like early spring than heading towards winter, though we have had two big snowstorms already with rapidly melting snows. We have had more than our share of heavy rainstorms and with the beaver's hyperactivity and volume of water, it has caused further flooding over our dirt driveway. The latest storm delt the final blow and a torent of water rushed over driveway like a mightly river. It has since been repaired with two truckloads of gravel!
