Great Day

Beside the road that takes me to work every day there is a dug-out. As with most dug-outs beside roads, I assume, it was dug by the construction company in order to augment the volumn of dirt available for use in constructing the road. This dug-out is small by comparison to any other roadside dug-out that I have seen though I also assume that it was dug by the construction company because there is no pile of dirt the size the the dug-out itself beside it as there would be if it was dug by a farmer. This dug-out was dug beside an existing slough, a very shallow one that dries up over the course of the summer. Each year, both years, that I have driven by it in the spring there are two pairs of Canada geese, which have each raised a family there; and there are always ducks paddling about in the shallow where the slough is.
Yesterday was a great day. A great blue huron day! I have seen it there both previous years though sadly it does not stay through the summer.
I often wonder how many other people notice it as they drive by.
