This AM is was 72 degrees at 6 AM AND humid. Finally had to break down and turn on the AC. Hope this spell of warm weather doesn't last too long.

Going off to the UKC show over in MS for the day on Saturday. Guy just needs one more competition win to get his UKC championship... maybe there'll be another breed in his group. Keep your fingers crossed.

Tortoise Jousting

I was out doing my daily walks around the yard, when the dogs pointed out something interesting on the other side of the fence. It was two tortoises and one was upside down on it's back.

The next time I came around, one of the tortoises was standing on end... apparently tipped up by the other one. I thought at first it was a male and female, but now I realize it's two males jousting! I decided to let them settle their "king of the hill" battle without human intervention.

First photo is after I had righted the upside down one, got the camera and came back... apparently they had battled again and the nearest one is standing "on end". The "victor" is stalking off and I righted that one again.
