Irene looked out the dining room window this morning and saw this turtle at the base of our red hot pokers in the garden. By its coloring, I think we’ve already seen it 3-4 times this season in various parts of the garden and yard.

This has been amazing year for turtles here—in the past month, we’ve already rescued around 6-8, maybe more, from the middle of roads alone, plus the ones we’ve seen ambling along on our own property.

And when you lose count of something like that, you know that life is good!
