OMG — I’m not usuall prone to using acronyms like that, but this newest twist in my never-ending fabulous birthday is so WICKED cool.
Look at this:
Can you see it? The back side of a little, well, not so little BOX TURTLE? I found him tonight on my property because there was a stray cat (yes, the same one that I posted earlier — who had been drinking from my bird bath) stalking something in the corner of the lot. I walked closer to try to get the cat to leave whatever it was alone — I figured, a lizard or possibly a snake. I was unprepared for a very cute box turtle, his extremities all tucked in. I shooed the cat away and ran into my house to grab my camera. By the time I got back, the turtle had already scooched into the brush into what I can only hope is a permanent home. I hope he lives here. I hope he’s a permanent resident. He’s adorable.
And, here’s a photo of Boomerang, the newest (a year and a half) addition to the Coolidge family; he’s seen here squirming in my arms before I gave him the rest of his tuna treat for dinner.
A fabulous, wonderful, marvelous birthday. Thanks to all the critters and people who made my day!
