I love them. I love the way the sun sets over them in the evening. I love the way the moon shines on them when I get up waaaaay too early in the morning. (Thank you, first child, who just had to go to school this year…but I digress.) I love to drive past the ponds and see the turtles sunning and the big huge blue herons fishing.

Shortly after we moved in, my daughter and I decided to feed the turtles. I don’t know what turtles eat, but I figured they’d be like ducks and eat just about anything. So I got the stale box of Cheerios out of the pantry and my daughter and I trekked across to the pond to feed the turtles.

I have to tell you that they’re a little scary up close. They have pointy noses and beady eyes. And they’re bigger up close than they are from my car when I’m driving by. And they looked hungry. And just for the record, turtles don’t like Cheerios.
