Good Wednesday morning! Rain or Shine it is a beautiful day!
This picture of Livvy, next door neighbor, loving a Giant Turtle brought back memories to me.
Growing up, we had turtles in our backyard. We would find them on the side of the road going to and from the 500 acre Ranch we had in South Texas. We would number them with fingernail polish and be careful when mowing.
Our granddaughters have raised these turtles from little ones in an aquarium.
Wayne made their first home in a metal water trough with a spraying fountain.
They are in a rubber stock tank home now as they have grown.
God's creatures are all so different and amazing. What pets did you have growing up? Blessings & Hugs! Pam
I took a nap and just woke up., took a 4 hour nap when i woke up I thought it was saturday

And your path is free to walk That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag Rolled up and stashed behind your couch And it's knowing I'm not shackled By forgotten words and bonds And the ink stains that are dried upon some line That keeps you in the backroads By the rivers of my memory That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy Planted on their columns now that bind me Or something that somebody said Because they thought we fit together walking It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find That you're moving on the backroads By the rivers of my memory And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' Cracklin' caldron in some train yard My beard a rustling, cold towel, and A dirty hat pulled low across my face Through cupped hands 'round the tin can I pretend to hold you to my breast and find That you're waiting from the backroads By the rivers of my memories Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
