Mating season!



I noticed the first sign of horseshoe crabs a few days ago. Unfortunately, they were dead ones, but their appearance on the shore is a sure sign that horseshoe crab mating season is here. They have awaken and are on the move! Yesterday I spotted this one (photo) and so I am heralding the official start to my favorite season! You know that I am crazy for horseshoe crabs. The past few days have been very windy and I am still finding plastic wagon wheels washed up. The other day my son found an old Clorox bottle, exposed by all the storms and erosion. I checked it out and it's from 1930. I am still hopeful that someday I will find an old treasure chest filled with gold coins, so I can retire.
