3 September

Why does a big old turtle cross the road? Because he wants to bite Anthony’s foot.

   September 3, 2007 – Labor Day. Quiet day on the farm. Annie is off and it’s nice to wander around with the animals. The pastures are so dry I’m bringing some hay out for the goats and the donkeys, and soon, I’ll have to move the sheep into the main pasture. Rose and I are taking them out to graze each day now. Going to dinner with Bill and Maria.
  Above, Anthony and I came across this grumpy old fellow in the middle of the road and Anthony, carefully using his toe, lured this snapper out of the road and into the woods so that he wouldn’t get run over. This guy was as nasty as he was smelly and interesting, lunging and snapping every chance he got. He made it safely into a stream.
