We have an affinity for turtles. I think lots of people do. But it seems that each generation (if they have the same affinity/attraction) goes
a step further. I loved horses (rode but never owned one), my daughter got to own 2 as a child, and now my grand daughter has 3. See where I'm going here? Now I always liked turtles and we have several box turtles that make our yard (which goes down to a creek) their home . Growing up, my daughter was forever rescuing turtles and tortoises from the roads and bringing them home to deposit in the creek.
Now my grand daughter owns several; 2 African Sulcatas, 1 Russian, 1 Red Footed, and 3 baby Red Sliders. She studies what kind of environment and diet each needs and provides special habitats for each. See?...
a step further.
Don't ask me why this subject became my post today because I really couldn't tell you. Sometimes I must refer to by mind as my *monkey mind*.... as it keeps jumping around to unrelated subjects.
A while back I said that I was going to post some of my old poems, stories, sketches, whatever
, daily. Well, obviously (and fortuitously for you) I haven't done that. They say that life is what happens to us when we're planning something else... well, apparently that's true. I get caught up with 'other things' and forget said plans. But that's OK. Hopefully we'll have lots of time together. I'll get around to it
eventually.
