Granddaughter time sounds great @essiemyra! Enjoy.

Muggy and quite warm this morning. 75F, 73 dew point and 93% humidity.

I stopped for a turtle that was sitting on the yellow line. Traffic wasn't much, but he was not likely to make it across. I put my bike on the side of the road, watched two cars barely miss him, and then picked him up. At first he was going to go into his shell, then he tried to make a run for it as I grabbed him. He kept his head and legs out and they were moving as though he was walking fast.

I put him in the grass and he started going away from the road. I've already seen too many squashed ones this year, so hopefully this guy will stay away from the asphalt.
