In beaver news, I saw one swim past my house this weekend. There was a spirited discussion at the Mohegan Highland's beach clean up about the beavers this weekend. There were persuasive arguments made to leave the beavers alone and let the northernmost section of Mohegan Avenue flood. It's futile to fight nature--plus abandoning that section of the road will cut down on through traffic and speedy speedsters speeding through our quaint residential community. I think I'm leaning towards a let it be policy. Who knows, I may have water front property. Beavers sure are industrious.
It seems that the Mohegan Lake Improvement District is supporting a grating system and some cleaning. More details to come at the next MLID in a couple weeks. Stay tuned for details.

Are those wild onions actually ramps? They are a gourmet item, people go foraging for them.
Good question, Bill. I believe they are just some wild variety of scallion. I think ramps have a more broad leaf. It is ramp season for sure though. https://www.google.com/search?q=ramps&client=firefox-a&hs=pbH&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=jhqAUfebKKS-0AG9uoCgBg&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1416&bih=729
I've been pulling them out of my yard for a couple weeks. They are very tasty. I used them just this Sunday to top an pan of enchiladas.
