Yard work/Fountain/Train
We've done some major yard work this weekend, including re-building the fountain.
We also have a nice cleome that has come up on its own. I understand these things re-seed like crazy, so we should have a nice new bed of them.
(Sorry for the focus - cell phone pictures)
While we were outside enjoying the low humidity and cooler temps, we had a visitor:
A couple of entries back, I posted a picture of a man standing on an old locomotive. Did you notice the little dog on the ground? Had we been living in the 1830s, we would have seen that locomotive on the very same railroad track shown in the video above. Here are more details from one of my favorite blogs:
Goodnight Raleigh

Turtle Holes
"Tippi Turtle" dug two nice holes and deserted both. Here are some pictures.
Tippi is now hanging out under the euonymus bushes.
I re-installed our little fountain this afternoon. It has been stored while our renovations were occurring. In the past, we've had toads, frogs, and garter snakes hanging out at the fountain. Here's a video of how it looks tonight.
And as you can see, Tippi has moved back into the yard. The fountain will undergo a lot of changes over the next few weeks as we make it look a bit more "natural." Stay tuned.
We'll leave you tonight with two pictures. The first is of our backyard looking out from our living room.

Welcome
Hi and welcome to our new blog, Crabtree Creek Critters.
We live inside the beltline in Raleigh, North Carolina. The circa 1835 Raleigh and Gaston Railroad bed is adjacent to our property and crosses the creek about half a mile away. The creek and the railroad bed offer highways for critters who like to stop in and visit. Right now, we have an Eastern Box Turtle laying her eggs in our yard and that's what prompted this blog. I'm posting a video of tonight's activity. This is just a test posting and we will be back soon.
Here are our chicken critters.
