I rescued her from a "Let's take this turtle out of the wild and NOT give it the things it needs."-situation.

She was rough when I got her. Barely active, and not behaving like a turtle.

Now, is completely tame, will fall asleep in my hand, super active, basks and swims like a turtle and shedding those old scutes and growing like there's no tomorrow. (But still has much recovery left, we have only had her a couple months)

It was timed well... Our family cat passed away JUST as my parents left for Florida. Needless to say, my "alone" time was feeling VERY alone.

It's quite possible this turtle saved my (momentary) sanity! 🤓

I love the colors of the heavenly bamboo during winter

The Japanese boxwood in the lower right should change to their bronze color at some point

Rained hard at dinner time, then dropped to 31 overnight. Lots of tall frost (tall for us. 1/4” frostcicles)

Had to adopt my sons cat as they moved house a week ago, Their house sold but the one they're buying has problems so they went to live with his mum in law until it's sorted so we had his cat 'Sausage'!
He's a bit of a chunky munky and is the most solid (And wide!) cat that's ever owned us!

Love his little mustache! I think you need to buy some treats, he looks very angry. But he's a beautiful cat.

Hee hee!
He has all sorts of treats and although he looks to have a very strict face, He's a big softy and gets on my lap and stays there until my legs start to go numb!! 😂


My son did a little mock up on the laptop of Sausage ready for a day at the races!!

We were on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan today.
We raced the storm back south... By Crivitz, it was no longer snowing...

Then my son had to use the restroom, so we stopped, and the snow started again. So we left.. outrunning it all the way home. It was fun.

On the way UP, we stopped in Niagara (WI) for a few winter shots.
