I don’t think improper spelling Megan would like that. She’d worry.

I don't think I could eat turtle either even if some say it's good and chicken of the tree are too fun to watch than eat.

I pick up a forty pound snapping Tuttle off a road south of Killeen TX carried it off the road and set her down in the ditch. When I picked her up she stretched her head all the way around to my wrist and stopped . My wife was in the truck watching and told me that I was lucky she didn't snap.my wrist.

If you want to watch a cool story, go to YouTube and search "rockalina". She is an eastern box turtle that someone found in 1977 and lived in someone's kitchen till earlier this year.
She ate cat food, and was not taken good care of. I think the owner died and the daughter called this tortoise rehab place and they have been nursing her back to health and just moved her to an outdoor space for the first time in 48 years, but seems to be adapting well.

I have been following the facility that has her since her rehab started I love seeing her doing well. She was in rough shape at first. I remember them questioning if it was more humane to euthanize at first. But the X-rays were promising and she has a good spirit.

When you poked Mitch up the butt, did he come to life and stick his head out?

Super excited that I found dewberries today in the pasture.

I picked quite a few ripe ones and will see if I have enough for a pie.
The dogs went with me. They also love the dewberries. They pluck them off and eat them.

I’ve never seen a dog do that so Ivy Lynn doing it was wild. (KoeZee was doing it too but I didn’t get pictures)

They grow wild or did you plant them?

You looking to feed the local lepidopterans?

They are wild.

I do plant flowers for the butterflies.

Honey Barbara was a character played by Helen Jones in the 1985 film "Bliss" (the Directors Cut makes this poster art make a bit more sense)





The last few minutes of the film are exceptional in the answer to what real love may entail as opposed to the fake love we were taught from birth. Not wanting to reveal the ending I will not explain my answer to you, but for a "mean" person you think me to be, if you fully understand the ending you will see your thoughts are folly at best.
