"Nature looks dead in winter because her life is gathered into her heart. She withers the plant down to the root that she may grow it up again fairer and stronger. She calls her family together within her inmost home to prepare them for being scattered abroad upon the face of the earth." Hugh Macmillan

peace and quiet
Ashtyn's turtle, Crawler, has quite the personality! He is a little temperamental and just like the rest of our family appreciates some quiet alone time. Also, like his new family members, our pet turtle enjoys his daily routine. Every single day when the boys leave for school and the house gets quiet, Crawler pushes himself up onto his rock, underneath his heat lamp, and stretches out his head and limbs. He lays very still and relaxes the morning away. I never thought I would love a turtle but I'm really taking to this little guy. He has his own routine and he's becoming part of MY daily routine as well.
