Nicer than snow and cold

I love my turtle collection. Right now most of them are packed away because I thought we were moving. I actually have at least one more not shown in this picture. I started out with the three ceramic ones (three different sizes, all facing each other, just to the right of the powder blue one in front). My parents bought them for me from a gift shop out in southern California somewhere, maybe in Blythe. We kept desert tortoises as pets when we lived in the desert. They were only ones we found covered in mud after heavy rains. Never just walk over and pick up a desert tortoise. It frightens them and compromises their health.
