  15. A Three-Toed Box Turtle made it's way into our fenced in yard. Once it picked the direction it wanted to go, I helped them over the fence and they went into the woods.

  17. It's World Turtle Day!

    I love turtles. And I'm a huge Terry Pratchett fan. I utterly love it that turtles play such a major role in his world. Have you read his #book "Small Gods"? It's excellent! And a brilliant observation of humans and their approaches towards belief in higher powers.

    In honour of World #Turtle Day and Terry Pratchett, here is my favourite ancient Egyptian turtle #artefact 🐢🐘🐘🐘🐘💖

  18. Apparently it's #WorldTurtleDay.

    We don't get turtles around here as a general rule but I did release a track about space turtles a little while ago..

    It even has a video. With turtles, courtesy of a few lovely contributors on Pixabay.
