May Snow

Just a quick post today. The weather has turned cold again and it has been "spitting snow" (which I've learned means flurries) for about a day. It's too warm for the snow to really "stick", but we got a dusting last night. It's too late in the spring for this! The Watershed Survey
We have been busy preparing for the watershed survey, which will be done on Thursday, May 13th. We have had an amazing response from the questionnaire. According to other associations, there is an average of about 15 percent return of the written survey. Ours is over 70%. We have had an a low number of owners, who don't want us on their property. Only one has given a definite NO (but I had a broaden definition of the watershed and that owner is likely outside of the watershed). And one owner wanted to be home, when the watershed survey was done. This is so low that it is "unheard of".
I am so pleased with the response and my neighbors. You all are wonderful. As I've said before, "I wouldn't want to live anywhere else!"

For those of you with homes here, expect to find a little plastic bag on your doorknob with instructions on its use. It contains a small bottle of septic dye and its use is voluntary.

My hopes for Thursday are:
1. We find a few sources of non point phosphorus (run off) to correct (to help the pond) and none of these are expensive to fix.
2. The owners, who are here, don't object to the team.

Wish us luck.
