The very warm December day is melting the snow but a steady melt so no little streams running across my lawn. This little stream of water is feeding the Now and Then Falls, which had low flow this past October compared to springtime. And the irregular flow is how it got its name.
Barely Flowing
Adventures to parks may be one way families are celebrating Father’s Day, although they might have to dodge some welcome rain showers.

The rain this morning caused more snow to melt and fill the ditches with water and even caused my pond to overflow again, and it is a good thing there isn’t this much water flowing out of my pond or my lawn would be washed away.
Upper Amnicon Falls Flowing
When visiting the waterfalls in Northern Wisconsin near Lake Superior, people are drawn to the big falls watching the water plunge over the edge and listening to the roar of the water, but upstream from the falls in the shallow streams, another pretty view can be seen which is so often overlooked for the main event. Sometimes the main event isn’t flowing during certain times of the year as this small branch of the Amnicon River only flows when river levels are high, hence the name of the falls is ‘Now and Then Falls’ which is just down stream from this spot but with the recent heavy rains, it was flowing now.
