First Tortoise Ever!

Much to our surprise last evening we found this tortoise meandering across our garden.



In other news, we ate our first peach...Holy Moly....Good.

Suggest you plan your flights for the peach festival (I suspect the entire tree will ripen on exactly the same day) for 10 days from now.

I wonder if this will be the one peach year, given the unusual weather? document it for sure!

Was there a hare anywhere near by? Sleeping under that peach tree perhaps?

That is so cool! I can't believe no kids were there to witness it.

LOL @ WeaselMomma!

I would love to put in a reservation for the peach festival. Unfortunately, I will be traveling in the great state of Wisconsin that day.

Where the heck did a turtle come from?? Maybe that huge rain storm washed him your way from somewhere else. Interesting. Try to interview that turtle and see where he came from.

That is so neat! Surely all your relatives will be receiving peach jam for holiday presents, no?

About a week ago while driving at about 75 mph on I-94 going north to Fargo from Minneapolis, I had to hit the breaks and swerve to avoid...a tortoise. It was like a mutant tortoise. It looked like something from a Spielberg movie.

All that flashed through my mind was being a headline...because of a tortoise.

Hey, I've told Terri, Mike and Jules this and wanted to share with you as well: My schedule has been completely unforgiving thereby preventing me from having the time I'd prefer to make comments. BUT...I've been reading. Your blog is a constant delight to visit.

And -- since I (happily) remain on your blogroll (as you are on mine...well, mine is set up differently but you're there!), you might want to give it a quick refresh and change to "Christopher Gabriel" with the link http://cgabriel.com. I've moved Blog Harbor to my website and though BH remains up, it won't be there for long.

Give the program a call soon...and we should chat about the organ donor topic.

Oh God... I knew Jules would get excited by this one.

We should definitely purchase plane tickets for Peach Festival. You said we needed to fly somewhere... and we get to eat your food. It's win-win.
