Alligator Barrier Seems To Be Coming Down...

When I came home from a very long extra shift at the FamilySearch Center today Dear One told me I should look out the window.   This is what I saw:

 

What you are seeing is the pond clearly in view now.

The lovely neighbors on our left side have cleared out most of the brush behind their house.  I won't show you our back line!  I have always been so happy to have quite a hedge of brush and crape myrtle trees between our lawn and the pond where at least two alligators live.

It will be interesting to see what develops from now.  I sincerely hope the alligators do not feel that they can now come racing up the bank from the pond and onto the lawn.  I have scary dreams about this happening.
