Week in Review

It had been a very busy week and there are still things to do before we head out on our first of many week-end away. I was out hiking 4 days in the past week and the weather was so enjoyable. So nice to have the sun and the warmth finally return. I just have to remember the sunscreen!

Largest turtle I have seen in the wild. 

I think it is a Snapping Turtle. It was about 14 inches across.

When it surfaced it had a small turtle on it back
