Look what my friends found on their newly purchase property… they have called a specialist to relocate:)View attachment 332645
Looks like a big old natural Honey Bee hive. Lots of comb there and I see lots of capped honey too.

Any decent beekeeper will be happy to get them & start a new hive.

Good morning! im headed back home to work today… yayyyy… it was a busy week and weekend so I’m happy with this today.. not to mention, I have a critical care patient to monitor. I found a pair of baby squirrels around 4-5 weeks old early yesterday morning on the ground.. the little boy was already dead but the little girl was screaming her head off. She was cold, had numerous puncture wounds and one of her back legs is useless.. this morning, she is strong and alert. Not eating as much as I’d like but I have hope for her.. we are calling her Asha.. meaning alive and well..6A2BA9CA-3909-4564-B37A-93D149DDB487.jpeg

Out for a quick grocery run this morning & spotted this little Eastern Box Turtle about to cross a heavily traveled road. it was already out in the lane & heading into the danger zone.

I made a quick U turn & circled back. Still safe.

Quite the colorful little dude!View attachment 332694View attachment 332695View attachment 332696View attachment 332697View attachment 332698View attachment 332699

And…..this is why I always try to stop & pick up Box Turtles on the road here in our area & relocate to a very large wildlife refuge area right down the road.

This was posted on our Neighborhood News yesterday.

Oh that's to bad. ?
The vet I take Opo to has a sulcata that got ran over. She repaired the injury and now is waiting for the healing. The last time Opo was at the vet's. She asked Rose when the sullies recovery is finished. Would we be willing to take her.
Right now I say no, but you never now with me.? I guess I could try to find a taker here on TFO.

In her old age my mother was more or less confined to her recliner. She was afflicted with polio as a young woman and that left her with one paralyzed leg. I used to mentally make fun of her because she couldn't start her day without a cup of coffee and two Anacin tablets. She just sits there all day and reads for cripes sake. What does she need caffeine and pain pills for.

Well, never make fun of your mother, even if it was only quietly in my head. Lately I've taken to starting my day with a couple aspirin.

Please be careful about taking aspirin without food, Yvonne - they can seriously damage the lining of your stomach - perhaps there is an alternative you could have? I don't know what is available in the USA - here in the UK there is paracetamol. You are precious to a lot of people - and tortoises, of course !!!
