A fun time of the year for me is walking around during snowmelt. All the snow that piled up during these winter months finally hit some warm days and quickly melted. This created a wide, icy waterfall along an eroding ditch that was beautiful to witness.
Decades ago my dad planted Marsh Marigolds(Caltha palustris) back here. They are no longer there. The ditch has swallowed up the marshy area, quickly moving upstream. I hope someday to have a pond there, that stops this fast growing problem.
