Bitty Turtle save.2017

So,, Between storms, I just had to go play in the water runoff or look for uncovered treasure, I did find a toy tug boat from some where that ran away and then I found again later. It lives in the little artificial bird pond that I threw together with scraps a year or so ago. Saturday or Sunday, I forget which, low and behold a teeny little Red Slider turtle had washed out its hibernation spot and down the runoff, he was stuck upside down in the rocks and i guess the cold water had finally shut him down, I though he was dead at first, but thought i saw teeny bubble, so i took him to the pond and placed him in the shallows, and yeaaaaaaaaa, he had moved away into hiding somewhere. It has been so warm, many turtles are out and sunning in JANUARY!!!!

WATER IN THE POND!!!

YES, it rained and rained and rained, the pond looks so much better, but look at that runoff, it will go down fast. I also got a couple pictures on the backside of the horses next door, well really a quarter horse dude rents that to put mares back there temporarily. I can't remember the name of his place, he races quarter horses, I'll have to look it up and edit this post. I had to hunt it down last year when a couple mares got out and were wandering. maybe keeping it here would be helpful. JUST so happened they were in Texas at the time and  they had to call someone to come get them. THEY really should check the fence better, its very old.
