Thursday, 12:19 PM – a gray, cloudy day, but the warm temperature isn’t lost on the turtles. They’ve all climbed out of the mire on the upper pond near the animal shelter. But as I approached… SPLASH! Back into the water. Just to get away for a bit, I sat down upon a log on the bank during lunch break and waited for them to climb back out of the water.
