The remains of Hurricane Helene came through with her wind and rain, leaving many branches and some trees down on the mountain. Nothing serious thank goodness and how nice to have neighbors that travel with a chain saw in their truck. Many of those branches and trees were taken care of before it was even known that the road was blocked.

This picture is of American Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) branches that came down during the event. Loaded with many Persimmons just waiting to be discovered by the Black Bears (Ursus americanus) around here that love those fruits to gobble down.

There’s a pile of bear scat on our lane as a testament to their consumption.
