Sea Grapes

Thousands of sea grapes washed up on the beach with the high tide and waves during storm Finn. It was a sight I have never seen before and not good news for the oysters in the river and bay. Maybe it is good that so  many were removed from the water. Maybe it is Natures way of keeping them somewhat under control, but I doubt that. Either way I will be happy when they dry up in the sun and go away. This from Wikipedia>
 Molgula manhattensis, commonly known as "sea grapes", is a species of ascidian commonly found along the East Coast and Gulf Coast region of the United States. Although it is native to this region, it has been introduced to other areas of Europe, Australia, and the West Coast.
I worked on the birdhouse repair for Grammy and sanding and staining a WV plaque for the Godson from Grammy & Grandad and us. Hubby worked on the roof again. The elements are so hard on things here on the beach. This roof was replaced 3 years ago and the wind has already ruined it. We also beach combed  at the lighthouse. We through back many oysters the storm left on the beach. I do not eat them but appreciate their importance for the Bay and its tributaries.
