Yellow-Bellied Slider at backyard

Another backyard adventure — Yellow-Bellied Slide (we believe). Sometimes it is difficult to identify, however; the tortoise is protected under Florida law.  You do not want to run over just because it wants to get to the other side of the road and in fact takes its sweet time about it!

Asparagus

After around 6 months, we believe it is about time to see at least a couple of asparagus shoots.  Sure enough, the shoots are blossoming and will soon be part of our salads and daily meal!
