Jeb Bush loves his Bro
And even his policies
But how to say it?

Politicians are crazy

Short Turtle Story

Between one end of our house and our wooded area is a pathway about 7 ft wide.  It is mostly sand on top of dirt. Four days ago, I walked that way and saw a  turtle sitting in the middle of the path. From its pretty shell, about 8" across, I could tell that is one of the turtles I feed by hand in the pond most days.

Strangely, it did not move as I approached. Nor did it run or turn around to try to bite me as I tapped it from behind. Finally, I noted that this was a mother turtle, busy digging a hole for receiving her eggs.

I wondered how to protect this nest but decided to leave it alone. As of today, this spot is undetectable and undisturbed.
