Wow.

I had chills while I walked through Decatur Woods Park and it wasn't from the temp. The park is entirely transformed, I've never seen it like this.

In some places it appears that the forest is working to reclaim the cement path, I could not always distinguish between path and earth because of all the downed branches and debris. Some of those branches are mighty big and I saw several huge pieces of broken off tree further in the woods. Much of the path also has a sheen of standing water across it.

The seasonal ponds are high. Several other folks were out enjoying the park, a dog bounded in and out of one of those surely cold ponds to retrieve a ball. A young woman and her daughter worked to fly a rainbow kite up in the remaining gusts of wind. Two other dogs were also romping around, all the dogs looked quite happy.
