Springtime and Turtles

I've been working a lot lately. My children each individually came to my office to eat in our cafe once this week so they could have a special lunch with dad. Following lunch we took my usual walk around the pond near the office.

My kids were pretty thrilled to see the turtles on the pond. Seeing the turtles sitting motionless, soaking in the warm sun, then the mad scramble to plop into the water when they heard us approach makes me very happy. Seeing my kids get a kick out of seeing wildlife is priceless.

I love being outside in the spring. I always want to live in a place that is sometimes too cold. There is nothing like spring after winter, food when you've been hungry and a kiss after a long absence.
