A Perfect Summer Day!
A Perfect Summer Day!
Saturday was a perfect summer day. It was warm and sunny and everything feels like summer.
We started off our day watching my Grandson play baseball.
He is a really good catcher for his age, but I may be biased.
After watching the game, we returned home to tackle the yard work that needed to be done. Some of which are remnants of the winter. We do not have very hard winters here, but we do get a lot of wind.
While I was mowing the yard I came across a little visitor along my fenceline.
I was surprised to see this little fellow so far from the water. He is about 12 inches. He is an American Painted Turtle. They are not aggressive and are generally harmless, but they do carry salmonella. (Hey, nobody is perfect)
This was the perfect top off to a fabulous summer day. I expect to be feeling a little bit sore tomorrow but I guess that is part of the fun.
Until next time,
John Novak

A grandkid baseball game and a turtle sighting! You are right, your day was awesome!!
We have a great day today too, in a period of two-three weeks of rainy ones.
Yeah, we have had a lot of rain also, I guess that made the sunny weekend more appreciated.
Sounds like a fun day! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for reading and responding @camthecreator. I appreciate it.
What a great day and you made a new friend. Tell your grandson to keep being a catcher. That position makes it pretty easy to get scholarships. Thanks for sharing. !CTP
Thanks, Bob. I will pass that on to him.
hello my friend, is that your son?
nice catch from him there
He is my oldest grandson. Thanks for reading and commenting. I appreciate it.
OH what a joy to find this little creature there! Do they always carry salmonella? I didn't know this. But you can only get this when they bite you? Or also when you'd touch them? I would not risk that personally lol, I know turtles have a nasty bite, that's something I did remember from stories :) haha
seems like a lovely day and thanks for sharing!
The salmonella is present if you handle them and don't wash your hands afterward, of course you also need to cook them thoroughly before eating them.
The salmonella is the reason they were forced to stop selling the little green turtles in the States years ago.
Oh wow I never even thought about people eating them. That didnt even cross my mind haha.
Us Europeans probably aren't that known to that stuff while it may be more normal there? :)
