Some of the letters I discuss in "Green & Blue" survive because the men who wrote them were killed on this day in 1863 at Chancellorsville. Among them were those of Tyrone native James Kerr, who described himself to those at home as a "soldier battling for his countrys rights". #Chancellorsville
Inverted turtle shell filled with rain water
Good morning! Turtle Shell Pond! A critter must have turned the shell upside down on PebbleHenge and it got filled with rain water. Nice. Now I need a pic of a bird drinking from it.

Good morning! There’s a mighty chilly turtle out there somewhere
Actually, one of my kids found a shell like this 30 years ago when we first moved in. That’s why it’s called ‘Turtle Shell Trail’ today 🙂 🐢
