Oh, how cute! You girls find turtles, dogs, all kinds of lovable things while you're riding. Why don't I have the same luck?

One of the benefits of being a pokey 10mph cyclist maybe?......

I "found" a feral kitten the other day; but he didn't stick around long enough for me to pick him up

I dunno. DH has a habit of finding cell phones on the road and once found (and stopped for) a pile of change that included an old Russian coin...I want to say it was a 3 or 5 kopek piece, but I'm not sure..... and he's pretty zippy.

Today I found 20 cans and a big bucket... full of chlorine tablets! A few were out on the grass... the very, very dead grass. So I used those cans as gloves and put them back and now I have chlorine tablets in my garage.

A turtle and an Israeli coin.

He's Jewish. He only gets kosher worms.

Last Monday I found my 3rd wallet that I've spied cycling since I've moved here to Seattle. 2 turned out to be stolen and tossed, one had been left on top of a car after the owner got gas.

Oooh, not good if your bikes are in there. We used to have a pool and even with the most careful storage of the chlorine tabs stuff would get rusted from exposure. Eeek!

I posted here 'cause I had this feelig if there were something I wasn't thinking of... I remember those swimming pool filter rooms now... It's goin' to the shed (no bikes there) 'til I can find it a home. (Hey, it says in big letters "OXIDIZER" on the bucket, even.) THanx!

Are they the septic system chlorine tablets, or the pool tablets? Can you send them to me? We need some for our septic system!

Yes, snappers and painted turtles are VERY abundant in our area. A very large pond I pass on my fitness walks has a log that sticks out of the lily-padded water and in the summer the painted turtles are PILED on that log sunning, like a dozen at a time! I can only imagine how many more hundreds of painted turtles are in the water and piled on dozens of other logs around the pond shores.
I was an avid student of local plants and animals when I was very young- always collecting and studying bugs, spiders, reptiles, amphibians, plants....

"Tiny" just ate a centipede.

He also did a big poop. I'm so proud of him!

Hmmm...all I usually find is road kill...

But at least I'm not inhaling the road kill like Lisa's been known to do!

I wish I could find that post

The benefit of a big saddle bag. What a cute one Tiny is.

What a little cutie!

Some of those turtles like to eat all sorts of caterpillars. When my son was about 3 we played with a box turtle for hours, and fed it silkworms(inchworms?)
that were hanging from a tree. It took a good chunk out of my finger too!
