This Maple is dying. A full 1/3rd has already sheered off and landed on my roof. I might have to have this one removed. It leans hard towards a 500 gal. Propane tank.

They burrow or borrow other abandoned holes. Hollow logs.
June is egg laying time. Drive down backroads with a BUCKET in the car. They get on hot pavement to warm their belly before laying eggs. I pick up hundreds a year from roads. Ive even hatched them in a coffee cup!

First off, HI! Start with what you have. THAT Turtle, is an ORNATE BOX TURTLE and it is, and has been on the ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST for some time. If you have a gathering place for these rare creatures, its probably egg laying ground. Thats RARE! You are Guardians! Stand up for them!

My Personality was Suppressed. My entire life. Lived for others. A Soldier. A Husband. A Farmer.
Now, Alone, here I can let my Spirit Wander. Living for now. This Moment is mine. Im not sure who I am. I dont need to be anything for anyone. Im not sure I can remember that long ago…
But ill find him.

as I empty the other half of my life from ghis space it suddenly started to fill. These are my Ancestors. My Honored Dead.
I want the table gone. A sitting room for the Spirit World. Maybe a recliner. I even found a Vets Ashes and his Photo. I still need to keep a Promise. Just one more.
He waits.
