At Theta Pond.
I wonder why they move up.
Sprouting, green tomatoes. A sight of hope and grace and beauty.
The May storms are here. Last night a plummeting of elements hauled into the house, around the neighborhood. Here is our neighbor’s trampoline, a Frisbee.
Today, I witnessed the teeny tiniest baby turtle in a pond we sometimes pass on one of our family walks. We are trying to hit 600 miles by August. Today marks 88.5 miles for me — accumulated over the past 17 days. Never in my strangest dreams would I think I’d do this while in quarantine. But the wonder of what we cannot plan…am I right?
If you saw a previous post, you know we like to name little special stopping spots on our walks. This one is home to many turtles. And the brightest tiniest green one was about the size of an Oreo. Bobbing up for air, paddling to stay afloat. Right out of Finding Nemo! So stinking cute. I didn’t catch a photo, but here is the pond!
Found this one the ground and wondered if the baby birds were okay. Placed it back in the tree.
