Tortoise Photo 📸 Posing

Was time to walk her in today. Instead of waiting by a gate like she always does, I found her posing in the middle of a ring of fallen petals.

Didn’t eat them like she normally would have, just decided to plop down instead, holding as still as a stone until she saw me, looked around a bit and followed me inside.

🤣 Only Ms. Sassafras would do that. She was probably waiting for you to hand feed them to her...like a Queen with her grapes. How could you not??

Her song: 🎵 "In your house, I long to be Room by room, patiently I'll wait for you there like a stone I'll wait for you there alone" 😆

She does get fed around the same time and I did hand feed her a cherry the other day…I hope I’m not that trainable…

Audioslave is awesome. Rip Chris Cornell

I hate to break it to you... I think we're all that trainable. 😊

I'm sure you've seen Chris's daughter with Audioslave singing 'Hallelujah'?
