Barton Dam

Stopped. Watched. icon

It’s spring and all 10 chases of the dam were open, loud, and flowing. A muskrat made its way down the stairs, followed by my entranced dog. Chives, garlic mustard, wild carrot, dandelion, wild strawberry plants, yarrow, and more were all waking up, garlic mustard had the head start. [photo 1] [photo 2] [photo 3]

    Photo 3 is of wild chives that grow along the trails. They look like grass but are round and fragrant when you crush them. Pick some to add as a garnish, or just munch as you walk. They were spicy and green and wonderful!
