It’s kind of rough up here in the frozen north. There are several months where going outside is…less than pleasant.

Being From Oregon and having lived my first 30 years of life there, I definitely remember. I cannot say I miss it, although I am traveling quasi north right now. Still not that far north, but it will be a trip to wear a beanie and pants again. I haven’t worn pants in a year. 🤣 NY gets cold as fuck tho the northeast is a different ballgame 😭

Shorts weather is three months max here!

But this, right now, in October, is the most magnificent time of year anywhere on the planet. So we got that goin’ for us.

I see them everywhere when I come to Florida. The softshell turtles in all the ponds are fun too.

OMG i love the turtles too. There's a bunch of them in the water retention pond outside my window. My heart gets happy when they swim up. ❤️

It was a joy to read this story, I could see the face of the tortoise, and it is your magical ability to see that made that encounter magical for you both, those moments show us what life is really about, we need to remember those moments more vividly and stubbornly than the other ones which tend to overshadow these ones, the info on light is so obvious to me as well, I wish you a lovely day, Grüß Gott.
