Charlie and a visit from a "critter"

Alligator Snapping Turtle (SCARY!!)

Somehow, even with the weather, we had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend.  We had known all along that Charlie was going to love the pool and sure enough, we were right!!  He played and played in the pool between rain showers.  
Saturday we met up with Charlie, Jess and Mark at the Farmer's Market.  We are so lucky to have such fresh produce to select from at the market.  I have never seen it so crowded.  We bought some fresh salad greens, onions and new potatoes.  Lots of good people and dog watching to do at the market.  
Charlie is one lucky little boy that he gets to be entertained some days by his Great-Grandparents when he is at Mimi's.  He loves his Meaw, (my mom).  Jessica named my parents, Meaw and Peaw when she was around 14 months old, so that is what they have answered to ever since. To say the least, they think Charlie is pretty special!!
Last, but for sure not least.........our friend, Terry, found the pictured above "lovely" critter in his garden and thought we needed to see  an alligator snapping turtle up close and personal!!  Terry had put on heavy gloves, loaded the lovely lady up in his truck to take to a local lake where she could have a "better" home.  I couldn't stand to watch her snap with her BIG teeth, so there is no picture of her in action!  I also didn't know snapping turtles put off such a  nasty scent.  I HOPE one of her relatives doesn't appear in our garden.  
Everyone have a great four day week!
Peace be with you,
Mimi

That turtle is so sick! Charlie will probably be catching things like that when he is a bigger boy and bring them in the house to show us!
