Turtle Pix

Chiro-sis Ruth & Rowan flew back from Scotland and I picked them up at the airport yesterday. I told her that Oly was now a "free-range" turtle and allowed to roam about the house. With the rain the last couple days, she didn't get her backyard walks. Here she is emerging from . . . somewhere this morning: 

Lady looks on with a wary eye.

She likes little nooks. Here she is parking herself like a Matchbox car: 

I let Lady lick out the coconut milk bag and  then this:

Don't worry--I didn't let her stay!

In Le Studio:

In the laundry room:

Playing with her reflection on the dryer:

Basking in the sun:

She's less and less fond of her makeshift plastic bin terrarium! But she still burrows down:

Hulloooooo:

She churns against the side when she wants to come out, tho:

"I'm awake!  Lemme out!"

This is still the easiest way to feed her. She came with clear instructions about favourite fruit watermelon being handfed to her:

Rarrr!

Going outside:

I really have to watch her because she can disappear and blend into the grass v. fast!

There she is:

Yoda Kitty sits below me when I'm "walking" the turtle:

In non-turtley news, rainy day snoozes with Tabby Bobcat & Lady:

Lady spilling out of Tabby's bed:

All is well.  :-)

I wanted to post a few pix of some flowers that Composer Brother planted for me. Day lily:

He grew these from seeds.

Yes, he is that good!

Echinacea:

This is a special lily that my brother created and registered:

 And now for something completely different:

Tabby Bobcat, relaxing in the labyrinth.

RAWRRRR!
Actually: *yawn*

Found this little guy in my bathroom so took him outside:

It's a firefly. I'm selective in my rescuing of bugs. For the most part, I'm fine with spiders as long as they're webbing it in the corners and out of the way. I'm not keen on cock roaches. Ewww!  I finally realized why I don't have a fly problem in the house, even tho I often keep the back door open for the dogs: because of the dogs. They catch them. It's a game to them. I'm all for that. 

Well, I almost made it thru a non-dog post without a dog reference.  :-)
