As we drove in I noticed a box turtle by the side of the road. We moved it away form the road. I hope it was in the right direction for it.

    We drove two friends to Ward Pond Ridge, Westchester County, New York yesterday. It was too hot to walk much. We enjoyed a picnic by Cross River. There were butterflies, dragonflies, other insects, and one snake up a tree. It was resting after having just shed its skin.
