The rain garden at Lake Tomahawk

 At Lake Tomahawk there's now a rain garden (a trench dug by the parking lot) so runoff will not go from the pavement into the lake.

It will probably be a nice place for kids and dogs to explore as soon as the construction barriers are taken down.


Yes, there are water tollerant plants down in the bottom. And the brown woven stuff on the slopes contains grass seed. After the rain this weekend it should be starting to grow.





High winds have probably knocked down the traffic cones (or maybe some rambunctious persons)


Today's quote:

The desire for a short nap during the day does not arise out of laziness, rather the need for the body to rejuvenate.

  1. They are taken good care of the lake and water. I like the quote, there are days I feel the need for an afternoon nap. Take care, enjoy your day!

    1. I sure do pay attention to my own need for naps...which seem dependent upon how early I get up in the morning.

    1. As a relief for runoff from our ever growing amount of paved space, they are really needed many places.
