On my way to work this whopper of a snapping turtle was hanging off the edge of the kerb, wanting to make his way across the road. I got out a blanket and carried him across to safety. He snapped and jerked the whole way across and went for my ankles when I put him down. How ungrateful! But at least he’s alive 😁

Look at this precious little fluffball poppet! A baby mockingbird in the weeping cherry outside my kitchen window. I don’t know if there’s more in the nest as it was a fleeting visit, but after days of enduring severe harassment from the mother I thought I deserved a quick peek. Adorable!

Joining 66 for the haul to work and enjoying seeing the sun break through the fog. So glad it’s light now for the morning commute.

A fistful of basil, cilantro and nasturtium to go in my salad for lunch. Delicious!

Left work early because of no AC so scored a couple of extra hours at home, paid my property taxes, went to spin class, dropped off books and audio tapes at 2 senior nursing homes, watered the garden, and now relaxing with a glass of cheap wine on the porch and listening to the birds. Bliss.

Early Sunday morning and the mockingbird is still yelling at us through the windows. Poor Rosie Lee is trying to enjoy a sun spot on the floor and looks really fed up with our aggressor.

I got a sub for lunch today at a small country store called Henry’s that’s had great reviews. I looked across the road and I guess this is where he lives.
