Snowed in the very early morning hours, with rain before. Everything is coated with ice, including the carport, so I’m staying inside for safety. Sharky put out extra birdseed so the peepers are all over our back porch.

Almost a month later, it happened again! Found this gorgeous, very feisty Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina) crossing Fort Dobbs road this morning.
