The mill stream is really quite dirty. I'd expected that with the increase in running water it would wash some of the dirt that accumulated during the shallow "season" to get picked up and carried downstream. I thought that it would have at least settled to the bottom anyways. However, I was wrong. The water is brown and murky and you can barely see the bottom. But the ducks were back earlier this week and that's always a good thing in my opinion. They did increase the water flow which is what I assume made them come on back but I can't be certain. Maybe they were just stopping by before their long journey. I want the mill stream to be back to what it was when I first got here and how pretty it used to be.
