Meet Teddy
I learned from the happy park ranger person at the Great Falls Discovery Center that this little fellow is a gound hog. I have named him Teddy. Say hi to Teddy! He hangs out right by the Gill-Turners Bridge, behind the Discovery Center.

No floods here, but still soggy
Most of the flooding that you're reading about in the headlines is more east of where I am (along the coast of Massachusetts and New Hampshire), though I was fully prepared for weather drama! This snippet from the Weather Service takes the wind out of the drama sails though.
"For the Connecticut River at Montague...
the Flood Warning has been cancelled.
The 11 am Monday stage was 26.1 feet.
Flood stage is 28.0 feet.
Flooding has ended and the river will gradually recede."
This is one of my favorite links for tracking river levels around here. If you recall, October was quite soggy too!
I decided to go for a walk, in case the national weather service was all wrong, to see if I saw evidence of sogginess. My conclusion: the October water levels were higher. I did get some happy photos though before my camera batteries gave up on me. And, I met a new friend!
Muskrat love? I think this is a muskrat. Discuss.

Laundry kitty strikes again!
Lucy is a professional. Do not underestimate her. I swear my clean laundry was on the floor for only a few minutes before I look over and something was AGAIN not quite right with the picture.
Oh, the Felininity!

Tree time in Turners
The Turners Falls Library put together a tour of the trees of Turners Falls, Avenue A yesterday. Of course I took photos! Status: trees = pretty!
