Eff the wetlands!

When I was a kid, there was a spot about 300 feet from my house that had this little pond an din the pond there were tad poles and frogs. Nothing crazy but I loved going there. I loved being outside and getting dirty. I would collect tadpoles and put them in the pond we have at my house. As the years have gone on, people in my neighborhood began to fill the pond with grass clippings... It now is nothing.

Gotta love what happens in the suburbs. By the way, there is a lot of land nearby (and that might be some) that is wet lands. We have wetlands on this property. It's all over the place. I will never understand why people do some things. The kids in the neighborhood will never get to experience that. I know it's a small thing but it's just ridiculous. Someone sat there one day and said ,"Hmmm I have too many grass clippings and nowhere to put them... I'm gonna use that pond across the street that has animals in it." That had to be how it went.
