Sometimes I need a reminder that even though things aren’t easy sometimes, it’s in my best interests to keep plugging. I’ve seen some things on our hikes this week that have really gotten me going.

Except Hallmark would add a dirty caption. And then charge you $5.

Thanks ! I’ll show this to her tonight. ( I couldnt agree more, I home schooled my son with a small group of parents through high school because the public school was soooo bad)

I think we all need reminders sometimes. Every time I look at that picture, I think “No one ever told that tree it was doing the impossible.”

I know this is outside and has nothing to do with your previous zoo photos of the adorable turtles, but I keep thinking there’s a baby turtle somewhere in there and I keep going back to the photo to find it. Very Where’s Waldo-esque.

I’ll post a where’s tortoise picture soon. I’ve been collecting camo pics of a baby bog turtle.

It does. There were several spots where trees had overcome just incredible odds to survive. And they appeared to be thriving!

Me too. Hopefully the CT scan today will tell me how big that boulder is.

Hopefully it is more pebble than boulder. And will pass on its own!
