Did a little road maintenance today at Hooverville, the boat launch just down the road. There was a "ditch" that we filled in and also moved some gravel at the waters edge so that it was smoother to launch the boat. Tons of butterflies were hanging around the water's edge.
We have been noticing some disturbance at the edge of our driveway and the hill leading down to the water. We figured it was raccoons or the rabbits. But lo and behold, it was a mother snapper laying her eggs. I looked out the window and just happened to see her a few minutes ago. She is a beauty. You never see her in the lake. We have really only seen her once when we had the basket of fish in the water off the dock and Marilou noticed her watching them. They are in there but they keep to themselves thank goodness. Maybe we will have baby snappers in a few months...
