The Turtle and the Snake

Bobbie and Pops' back deck is like an above-ground garden spread out on 2x4s. Henry loves it out there. Svea loves it in the shade.

Bobbie found this turtle sprinkler for like 50 cents somewhere and Henry has been talking about it since we left. He keeps asking me to get him some "turtle water" so he can "eat it." He's a smart kid. Probably above average.







The next day, we finally convinced him to put his clothes back on, and he led Mama J to the edge of the driveway to see a "snake." There are a lot of snakes around there (Pops killed a copperhead a few weeks ago) but this one turned out to be a worm wriggling around in one of those puddles, thank goodness. At least he had Mama J to protect him.
