I woke up this morning to clouds, a breeze and some sprinkles. Wow! Perfect grazing weather! Then my tortoise mom brought me a new treat: kale. I really chowed down on it, plus all the little leaf cordia and desert willow flowers and some romaine. Mmm, I was smacking my beak. I must be getting better because I'm interested in more foods now. Kale is harder to bite off and chew but my improved chewing muscles did the trick. I'm still not eating grass but maybe that comes later?
About the time I thought it couldn't get better, it started raining. Oh how I love the summer rain! I stayed out for two hours, drinking rainwater and munching my breakfast under the little leaf cordia bush. What a great day! Perfect tortoise weather: not too hot and not too cold. Just right for enjoying a gourmet breakfast. Oh I am happy as a .... tortoise!!
