I declare, it is like some other part of me
made up some rules about happiness
and I just went along with them without thinking.

Every day I hike Im discovering gifts. They are everywhere I look...even when I may not be looking or expecting anything. This day we were hiking the Gila Trail...having a wonderful time!! As we headed towards Islands In the Sky, what do we happen to stumble upon but this handsome guy. He will be # 3 in my talley of turtles for this year...already!!! I'll have you know that there are many summers that have come and gone that I havent had such unique treats. This year is different, oh so different. (I am waiting for a few more pics to come in before I share with you the MAJOR treat of the spring!!!)
After spying the 3rd tortoise....our wise and intuitive guest made the supposition that maybe, just maybe, this is the week that the old guys are pulling themselves out of their warm and comfy dens that they enjoyed all winter long...and they are now looking only for their first meal and the warm temps??!! Sounded good to me!!! And then....miracle upon miracle we saw the 4th tortoise!!! And he wasnt but 3 feet from his burrow!!! Wise guest- Mike- appears to be right!!
On this hike alone we saw the total of 4 tortoises!! That's a record!! That means that I already have 7 turtles on my talley!!! I think its a good omen, dont you??!!
Spring/ Summer in the desert is a glorious thing!!! Simple pleasures are the very best!!!!
