My Dad used to say:
"Spring has sprung
The grass has ris
I wonder where the flowers is?"
What a beautiful time of year! Found a tiny little painter turtle yesterday, about as big as a US nickel. Brought him down by the pond.
Lots of water around here; every year we have what I call "Turtle Week," around Memorial Day. Turtles come up in the yard from the pond and creek and lay eggs - painters, big snappers, red-eared sliders. One big snapper likes to bury about 40 eggs right next to our mailbox post.
Happy to have a little piece of nature to marvel at. This fine specimen of loud frog lives on our deck.
