Gardening With Turtles
http://gardeningwithturtles.blogspot.com
This blog is mostly about my thoughts on trying to garden with two constantly moving 20 pound soil compacting tortoises loose in the backyard. I also blog about pets, nature, collections, etc., pretty much anything that helps to keep my mind off what could be happening in the backyard when I'm not there.

Chasing shadows
On Saturday, I drove to Powell Gardens, a botanical garden near Kansas City.Although it was Halloween, it wasn't scary. There was hardly anyone there and most of the trees had lost their leaves, making them look sort of like skeletons, but still, no...
Halloween
Black cat with a scowl. Gray cat with a howl.Well, not really. It might be a "Howl-o-ween" for everyone else, but for Violet it's really just one big "Yawn-o-ween."No matter, my odometer turned 666 on the highway and that was one ...
