The Korner Store
and the rooster
|
 |
A little alligator near our dock, he sat very still on this log, guess he hoped he blended into the background well enough that we couldn't see him. The only movement was the occasional blink
This turtle was one of many we have seen here. Most have been in the water by the dock.

Got us this morning to heavy skies and rain. Went up to the restaurant for breakfast (full breakfast for $5.) with Jim, Gloria and Adrienne from Crawdad. Major storm, thunder, lightening, wind and rain so we had a very long leisurely breakfast with extra cups of coffee. By late morning rain had stopped and skies had brightened a little, so Crawdad took off for Green Cove Springs. We set up the generator, while Wayne was out on the swim platform he looked down and there was a little alligator under the boat looking up at him through the openings in the swim platform. He stayed there for quite a while, then sank down into the water and we never saw him again. We went for a walk, sun even came out for a little while, then the clouds closed in again and more rain. On our walk, we went up the general store. We are really in the country, the general store sells everything, including feed and farm supplies, and there was a rooster crowing on the front porch. Quite a contrast to the Fort Lauderdale and Miami areas, even the other areas we saw along the intercoastal.

View of the dock from the bridge over Six Mile Creek; once Crawdad left, we had the dock to ourselves

We had wanted to get the dinghy down to tour the rest of the creek, but the weather never looked quite settled enough. Back up to the restaurant for dinner, I could get used to this. Wayne tried a Low Country Boil, which was good. My grilled mahi mahi was also very good. So far I've had fried crab, grilled shrimp and mahi mahi, the last was the best so far.

| What we see as we look up the dock; we are really enjoying our stay here. Very quiet. All we hear are birds, insects. |
