George suffers from Restless George Syndrome this afternoon. The tail is the only clue in this photo. #dogsofcoso

This is the turtle in the lane. Sorry I don't have it next to something to give size perspective. I think it's a snapping turtle. Definitely not a cute little box turtle. Note the nose peeking out.

My car battery was so dead this morning the trunk wouldn't even open with the key fob. So I had to crawl into the trunk from the back seat to get the charger shown below. I hadn't done anything with it in the year or two since I bought it and first charged it. Attached it to my battery and the car started right up. I was surprised. Highly recommended.

The happiness of George. June 3 is his 11th month with me. I got him July 3 of last year and he had to deal with the neighbor's fireworks in a new, strange place. Happy he's with me. #dogsofcoso

George and his new toy. It won't last long, but he's happy.

Who's a good boy? George is! *Boop!* (now I notice bits of pollen on his nose from just being outiside)

My great uncle (with fiddle, 1895-1990) would tell me stories of his grandpa George W. Parrott (1818-1907). It's amazing to me I have first hand stories of a man who would be 204 this fall. When my great uncle was naughty as a little boy he would hide under the bed. One time he'd done something bad enough that his grandpa and another person were armed with a poker and a broom to get him out from under the bed. 😆

I suspect there will be a lot more pictures of moms posted on Sunday, so I'll beat the rush.
She taught me to read when I was 2-1/2. She gave me my love of family history and pictures, she laughed a lot and was deeply loved by the whole family. (1930-2014)

Photo by me. Male house finch. I figure I'd give all the cats on Caturday something to chase. 😀

Before I had dog George I was taking a lot of bird photos. Like this male Northern Cardinal.

George's favorite indoor hobby is following the sun around and basking.

This is George. He is approximately 72 lbs of wonderful.
