Rain Dance



My tortoise mom woke me in my burrow this morning so I came out to eat little leaf cordia flowers and lettuce for two hours. She didn't make me soak either, so it was a good morning. You know how I feel about soaking: Get me out of here!



Then tonight, just at sundown, it started raining. Hard. It woke me up and I came out of the burrow for a drink of fresh, cool rainwater. I stuck my head right in a puddle in the gravel to get a nice, long drink. Mmmmm, what a treat to have cool rainwater instead of sitting in that soaking pan.



So maybe the monsoon is finally here. It's been so hot that I don't want to come out of the burrow morning or evening so I still need prodding. But the weather changed today and I took full advantage of it to chow down and have a nice drink. Life is Good!
