I saw a turtle
By the way!
So the last couple days I was seeing some seriously cute pictures of turtles on the intertubes*, and I was like "wow I really kinda want a turtle right now." Then on Tuesday I was walking by the Burke Museum where there's this little patch of lawn and some pretty flowers, and there was this old man standing there, and there was a little wicker basket on the lawn. I thought perhaps he'd come to pick the flowers (I pass no judgment on the picking of the flowers). But then I looked where he was looking, down at the lawn, and there was this wee turtle hanging out in the grass! He'd taken his turtle for a walk. Or for a bit of a romp on the grass in the sun with the pretty flowers nearby. The wicker basket was for turtle transport purposes. Perhaps they picked flowers together too, I did not stick around. But it warmed my heart that the universe gave me a turtle.
*Also something disturbing involving a turtle on jwz's LJ, but that's par for the course.
