There’s a spot over by the Mailbox Trail beaver pond that has a bunch of old rusted milk cans and such scattered about in the leaf litter. This one held a clutch of still-green ferns and some moss.

Ralph Towers’s pumpkin crop was a pretty good one. Not a lot of pumpkins, but big. Some bared the dimples of a early summer hailstorm…
