Spring treasures and crazy high water

I have spent three days this week following Ralph Charles as he inventories the Lee Trust property in Westport.  I’ve seen lots of hepatica and today saw the first spring beauty and a big patch of Dutchmen’s Breeches.  I also found the friendly little snake and the superbright red fungus shown.

More rain expected tomorrow.  The lake level is 101 ft and south winds are expected tomorrow.  Last night I rode the Essex-Charlotte ferry for the first time since December and the water was over the landing on this side of the lake.
