Not yet little one.

That is just too precious!!

What an adorable turtle!

Wish Georgia would allow captive boxies......the care would be easy and making huge neat habitats would be an art for my landscape.

That is such a great shot of their personalities.

Thank you Eric!

At my age we should boycott them.

As a matter of fact, Eric, yes. . . yes it is:



This is the view out my front door. You can see the tops of the 40 acres of almond trees in the distance, and my flowering pear right out front.

And on sunny days you can see quite a few box turtles coming out and sunning.

it's 63 degrees here now , the forecast is for highs above 50 for the next 10 days , if the stuff blooms here this week , there will most likely be very little fruit or flowers making it to the real spring ............ my surface ground temp under the leaf pile has not gotten above 40 yet this year ....... the leaf pile is in south facing full sun all day ...... it's 63 air temp , the surface ground under the leaves is 39 degrees .......

What a wonderful view Yvonne... I hope all is well at your homestead from the storm.

In Texas it is. My guys are out and even eating. Cute baby you've got there.

Spring is nowhere near here in Jordan. Very cold weather with SNOW in the South of The Kingdom.

My little piece of heaven sits on an elevated acre. There's absolutely no flooding worries. However, there are about 4 very tall eucalyptus trees on my and my next door neighbor's property line (on his side) and they are on the north side. I worry every time there is a high wind warning that some branches from those trees will break off and kill my leopard shed. So far so good.

I actually took Steve outside today for some real sunshine. It was at least 60°F today! This is highly unusual for February in Michigan! Little Stevie must be so confused, thinking spring is here and Mommy's garden is returning...

Punxsutawney Phil might be fed to my box turtles if this continues into April! So over the drastic temp changes in March! Goofy weather...

Wow it's going to be 90 today in Tulsa? I feel ya on the crazy temp flux but I'll take your other days I'm sick of seeing highs in 30's lol!

 

[Yvonne G]

It's been beautiful weather here, but starting tomorrow and for the next 6 days it's going to be sporadic rain with daytime 60s and night of 40s. That's actually quite comfortable for those of us who have a LOT of outdoor work to do at this time of year, but a bit nippy for tropical tortoises, so I'll have to be rounding them all up and making sure they're in for the night. I had hoped to be able to turn off all the heat, etc in the sheds, but not yet.

I wouldn't trade you weather but I would Yvonne. I got so sunburnt yesterday working outside, it was also around 90.
I'm still worried that we still have one more cold snap coming and all the trees have bloomed.

it is 50 today but still a few inches of snow on the ground. not spring here until May.
