As you know by now we treasure every creation that
Creator sends our way.
We have two sets of Black Bear Families, Birds,
Lizards, Alligators, just about every endangered species in Florida and so on.
We love Breanna more than our own life however, today
our Land Lord returned for the summer!
Harriett is our live in Gopher Tortoise some just call
a turtle, NOT.
She was on this property before we move in year around.
She has been hibernating for so long that we were
starting to doubt if she had run away or not.
Her home (Den) is right up at the front fence which is
15' from the road by law. We, Harriett and this family have been battling with
every company in central Florida because it would seem that our fence is a
perfect place to park those big trucks, right on Harriett's home!
Need Wi Fi? Dig up Harriett's home on the way up and
down the street 3 times!
Need to scrape the side of the road? Scrape right over Harriett's
home!
Need to part your truck to talk on your cell phone?
Right on Harriett's home!
Who could blame her if she did leave?
The worse thing was at the beginning of our meeting
each other, coming from Connecticut from a life time of turtles, the first
thing I did was give her a bath!
Gopher Tortoise Hate Water! :-(
It took me over a year before she forgave me for that
one.
Then came the phone company installing Wi Fi down the
road, of course it had to go underground and on this side of the street!
After they dug her up out of her home we had to keep
her in a large plastic container until the job was completed, she still has not
forgiven us for that one.
Thank You Creator because she is back today eating in
the front yard!
P.S.
We do not treat the land with chemicals or replace the
grass because that is her food plus Breanna runs around the yard!
