Tortoises are awesome

My desert tortoises are contemplating coming out of hibernation, but the weather just hasn’t been too cooperative. One day, it’s warm enough that my big guy stirs and even comes out of the garage, tanks up on water and starts mowing the lawn. The next, he turns back into a boulder. Poor guy. The little ones have hardly stirred at all.

Awhile back, I read an article about a two-headed tortoise and sent it to my husband. He replied with his own customization:

I laughed for awhile. But ultimately, I’m still missing my tortoises.

Fast forward a few months. He was reading an unrelated website and there was a great tortoise pic…which he knew would cheer me up–especially with customization!:

Okay, so he was on the right track.

And today, despite the cold weather, the sun was out and Toad was walking around in the backyard. He didn’t have much ground clearance, but he was cruising around. Here’s to summer!
