I startled a turtle looking for a safe place to lay some eggs.
He is a long way from the lake and had to cross two roads to get into our yard from the lake.
Later I saw her heading toward the lake....apparently she was done in our yard.
The Veronica is still blooming nicely. We had some very nasty winds on Saturday.

This time of year all the turtles come out of the water to lay their eggs in the sand/dirt.
Yesterday I spent some time with Baxter. There was a Snapping Turtle in his yard.
Baxter is curious.
When the turtle reared up and hissed...
We spent some time down on the dock.
Baxter is good company...we both hoped that the Snapper wouldn't make it onto the dock while we were on it.
When we went up the hill the snapper was all eyes watching us.
I read for a short time and all Baxter wanted to do after our adventure was sleep so I went home to ride the lawnmower for a while.
