The beavers are coming ... the beavers are coming

Since I missed the post to Patriots Day and I wanted to talk about our beaver problem in the neighborhood combining them seemed like a good topic.

(1) Patriots Day - "Shot heard round the world"



The American Revolution or as the British would call it the "American Agression" was started in Lexington, MA on the town green. Over a few days it finally progressed to the Old North Bridge which is where the Minute Man assembled and drove back the British Regulars. This is also where Paul Revere sounded his famous "The british are coming; the british are coming". Friends who have visited have found that this is usually our first tour when you show up to our house.

(2) Beavers



It appears we have a coloney of beavers in our neighborhood. Not a good thing. While I like the wildlife - this particular wildlife has decided to flood 20 pieces of property that where not flooded at all. It is threatening our septic systems and is less than 400 feet from a public water supply. Now we just gotta figure out what to do.

Now you can understand why the combination of the two seemed appropriate.

Have fun...
