69 in the apartment, 57 outside. I think I'll have one of these with dinner.

It's good for you!

Mine are Red Sliders.

I would have those or a painted turtle. I would like mine to be a bit less belligerent than snappers

Or possibly a Russian tortoise.

I also fell in love with a little bearded dragon I saw in the pet store when I was there last to get cat food.

I've been making odd salads ... things that are ... like half mint and half kale or 80% tomatoes ...

I heard that snappers are mean.

They are. I'll get closer to them when they're romping on the lawn because I can run faster, but they scare me. Buzz handles them all the time, though.

They can be entertaining. I've seen George clamp onto the garden hose when Buzz has them out to clean the tanks. You can lift him clear off the floor and he will Not.Let.Go. Funny when it's a garden hose. Wouldn't be so funny if it were a limb, though!

The Pacifico is hitting the spot ... we have magic dots.

 

[Gary A.]

I have plenty of shots of my turtles ... but they're not processed.

 

[Gary A.]

Here's one when we got her ...

So tiny!

When the sun is low we get reflections from shiney stuff in the patio and yard. Mary Lou calls them Magic Dots because they just seemed to have appeared one day in the living room. The ceiling was filled with these multi-colored dots.

 

[Gary A.]

So tiny!

Yep, about the size of a quarter. Those are actually illegal, I believe Red Sliders need to be five inches to be legally sold.

 

[limr12]

I'm not afraid of the snappers when they're that little.

The problem is that they don't stay that little!

 

[Gary A.]

The two big ones are monsters compared to what they were when we first got them.

 

[Gary A.]

It didn't take a jammin' genius to figure out where the dots were emulating from ... but the idea of Magic Dots was ... well ... magical, lol, so we've let the thought preserver.

 

[limr12]

Awwww, I forgot about this picture. My girls were little when I first got them, too.

 

[Gary A.]

awwww ... very cute.
