Optimism Update

If you look closely you can see the turtle a bit confused, heading toward the sign.

The tulips bloomed last Spring and the turtles hatched yesterday! It took them 88 days – just as the Internet said they would (80 – 90 is the estimate).

One of the turtles was bound and determined to get across the street, busy with school traffic. Since several of his mates had tried and didn’t make it, my neighbor carried it across. We then made an executive decision to bring the few others to a creek a few houses away.

The turtles hatched on the morning of my mother’s funeral. Not exactly the circle of life, but something.

Wishing you all the most relaxing Labor Day weekend possible.
