Wrapped in an age-softened, threadbare quilt made from the scraps taken from my grandma’s
Sewing basket, the cat and I daydream while rain drums on the lake. In the yard, about
Fifty feet from the house, a mother turtle works to lay her eggs, covering to protect them
From predators and well-intentioned humans. I mark the place in my mind, to better
Advocate for my reptile friend once her work is done. Mamas have to stick together.
A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
Doing the best I can with what I have
kind of sad, but not so bad with cheese. cheese not provided.

What a lovely post. I do hope you will “advocate for your reptile friend” because yes, mommas have to watch out for each other! I got to watch a sea turtle last fall laying eggs on a beach in Mexico. It was right beside a sanctuary where turtle eggs are protected until they hatch. On my husband’s birthday we got to release some of those baby turtles. We saw a baby sunning on a log in the lake by our house (in MI) just yesterday. I love turtles! If you like you can read a post I did a while back about a baby turtle experience I had: https://intentionalinterplay.wordpress.com/2015/10/05/baby-turtle/
