Just before sunset, I saw a muskrat swimming in a slough*! It was so cute! Like a teeny tiny beaver.
*People around here call the big, shallow swampy lakes around here "sloughs" and I think it's a great word
@sundogplanets Louisiana here, slough is very common in these parts as well
@tsrono oh cool! I didn't know how widespread it was...I remember seeing the term when I read the "Little House on the Prairie" books when I was a kid, and then didn't hear it again until moving to Saskatchewan.
@sundogplanets @tsrono The "Slough of Despond" is a well-known body of water.

@mpjgregoire @sundogplanets @tsrono Remarkably, it's located at the precise antipode of the "Pond of Deslough".
