to take a walk to my favorite spots. It did not take long for the wind and the temps to discourage me.
Here is our main spring deceptively looking shallow. The water is "boiling" up from underground where the white sand is. Yes, this is our drinking water and supplies two households with no strain. This water is better tasting and cleaner than most treated water in municipalities.
The rocks you see surround where the pump is. We must clear the extra sand twice a year. The first spring surround was a barrel. No one knows who placed the barrel. When cleaning I found remains of old iron rings. Grandpa laid rocks and Dad added a ridge to walk around.
From here the spring flows down a stream into a pond. From there it joins the creek. We are the head waters of Lunenburg Creek.
I continued my walk to a clear spot after collecting Beggar's Lice...the small seeds you see clinging to my pants. This plant is a favorite for the deer to eat.
Had some trouble with my shoes so I left them and continued bare foot. Part of this was still frozen and the rest was very liquid. No arrow heads today but very cold feet.
Washing my shoes and feet in icy water from the outside faucet finished me off for a taste of the outdoors.
I've got to find some rubber boots!
