Hurricane Hermine and a new visitor…

Well we survived Hurricane Hermine over the early part of the Labor Day weekend.  By the time she got to us she was just a strong tropical depression but the weather forecasters think she may turn back into a hurricane after veering off the Virginia coast.  Of course these are the same forecasters that told us we would be getting about 6″ of rain over Friday and Saturday but only gave us a 70% chance of rain on Friday and a 50% chance on Saturday… talk about hedging your bets.   Anyway the storm did give us a lot of rain and quite a few branches down in the yard.  In addition, Sam saw this little guy walking through the yard the day after… probably just trying to get to higher ground during the storm as he was headed back to the brook when Sam checked on him later in the day.

A pretty good size Box turtle is passing through the yard after the storm.
