Christmas Rising

Throughout the watershed this Christmas day, the rain and above average temperatures melted snow cover, sending innumerable freshets down gullies and divides, into creeks and brooks, carrying earth, leaf debris and matter unrecognizable, if no less real, into the Ottauquechee.  Swirling under the bridge these additions to the stream raise and color the waters, opaque today.  We expect more rain tonight, Yuletide abundance of another sort.
