For you non-winter people. We've had feet of snow, then we had a rainstorm, and most has melted. Then, we had a hard freeze, and I was able to take the dogs out to the back 25 acres. I have a lot to say about some of them.. This one is Erosion Idiocy 101. When Husband farmed this field I'm showing, this is looking north, of "our" property, he NEVER planted the water course, and always left room for the water to flow. This in turn, allowed the culvert to my right in the picture, to stay above water. This is what happens when you plow a water course. The water dams, because of silt and soil build up. Our back pond is immediately behind me. It has been slowly filling up with soil and silt and crops!, since my Farmer stopped farming this land.
People who give two shites about land, did this work. Not my husband. FernV will understand. You just don't do it, it isn't worth the risk. Soil washes away, down a water course. That's what soil DOES.
next picture coming, I am no good at this, photobucket, well, this is more fun.

GL,
It's sad about the tree cutting. I see it all the time when I drive out to see Troop. Beautiful forests and streams suddenly bulldozed in to a parking lot.
Are you going to go back to fugly? It's been a "lets-bash-the-addict" fest today. I've posted a few responses but it doesn't look like the others are around.
Hey, BHM.
Nope, I've decided my time is best suited here, and elsewhere.
I LOVE what you've been saying, love it.
But I won't comment again.
I ain't painfully stupid. Fugs needs to learn that the good guys don't always have to agree with her.
never mind. I'll see ya on the NCC blog..
I'm so glad I found you there! I do appreciate the learning curve I've experienced, but I think I've learned enough, for now.
I've been feeling very scattered, very um, well, not good about that whole thing..
YOU mean the world to me.
