Baby Turtles

Spring time means more and more turtles are starting to emerge from hibernation.  We are loving these adorable babies so much.  They are so cute, and we love to show them off to anyone who comes over.  It's always the same reaction... "Awe... how cute!"

Sadly though, not all the babies are going to make it.  This week the girls found two, very tiny ones and had a little burial for them.  We have a spot behind one of our pine trees that has become the pet cemetery.  These two babies got buried near Joe the fish.  It was very sweet.  

We have had many deep and profound conversations because of the turtles - the circle of life, and how babies are made are two that come to mind.  Thank you nature for helping me have meaningful discussions with my babies.
