Central MS Turtle Rescue
I’ve been following this rescue in Mississippi for a couple years and love the care they provide injured turtles and tortoises. The couple that runs the rescue has received sad health news requiring months of treatments. They are trying to have all of the available...
It’s another rainy day here. Being in Louisiana, 2 months of no rain is always desired. I’ll be more than happy to water plants myself. The sheep all needed a good shower though. They were dirty. We have LSU vet coming out on Tuesday to do a flock check. We are worried about feet because of all...
It has been so long since I have been able to check in. I’ve tried checking how everyone is doing and reading so much to catch up. It’s a lot.
We are so busy on the farm and our full time jobs. I don’t get a chance to check in. We are having terrible water problems here on the farm even though...

The sun was covered by a cloud for a few minutes, so these two took the chance to come out of their cool hides. It has been hot and dry the past week. I go out in the middle of the day to dump and refill all the water dishes and water the grass.

I’m at my parent’s house for a little bit and can get on here. We made it through Hurricane Ida. We have a lot of water marks on our ceiling so we need to get that checked out. We have no power on day 7. We got water back on Tuesday but are still having to boil it. Our torts were fine. We...
I’m sitting outside enjoying some cooler weather and lots of wind brought to us by Ida. We made sure the generator was working and weighed down the kids trampoline. I hope it survives. We are in the direct path of the eye. I locked up the torts except our big guy. He is stubbornly grazing. He...
