A gorgeous spring day!!

It was in the upper 70s here in Illinois today!!
I rushed home from work so I could play outside with Nelson

Nelson's first clover of the season! He LOVES clover.

Eyeing an oak leaf...

Eating an oak leaf...

After attempting to eat the dried leaves, sunflower seed shells, dirt, and a piece of plastic...I brought lettuce outside for him

---

Trying to burrow...that's as far as he got

I think he thought he was hidden

How I love Nelson stories. I absolutely love those two last pictures with their comments, priceless. He looks like he had a great day with you how wonderful that you rushed home from work to make his day better. That's love at it's best.

Oh, Nelson!

Could there ever be a cuter tortoise than your little Russian?

I love the 7th photo, where he's navigating his way through the sea of grass, happily plowing away and looking like he owns the place...

Glad you had the warm high pressure system that we enjoyed yesterday (a record high of 82 degrees in Denver ).

Nelson sure is a handsome tortoise! I'm always amazed at what sunshine and the great outdoors does for our tortoises. All systems are go.
