Sunrise 6:12 am: Many signs of change

The Dawn Joggers ran into Judy this morning at Lake Lagunita ( down two feet from its high water mark) and discussed the unsatisfactory year it has been for ducklings. She, too, had not seen the one solo baby they'd all spotted a week ago. Today there weren't even any mallards just a few coots. The receding lake was not the only sign of change. The tall grass was starting to turn brown in patches and more parts of the campus had been mowed. What had reappeared was a new pile of dirt, origin unknown and purpose undiscovered, across from the horse paddocks. Will the massive dirt hauling trucks be next?
