Yes, here comes the rain

If by rain, you mean a drop of water from the sky every few seconds, then yes, it is raining today in the desert; but, if you mean pouring, water, puddle-maker, don't want to be outside in it, then no, this is just some sprinkles. I do hope it rains more. I want to see all the beautiful desert wildflowers in a couple of months.

Just a few of my favorite songs from the Barenaked Ladies. Attending their christmas concert tonight in Tucson. Their first visit to Tucson. I can't wait.

poor poor shylie

Shylie is one of my 3-toed box turtles. He has come down ill. We've taken him the vet where he received a couple antibiotic shots but if Shylie doesn't eat, there isn't anything we can do for him. the daily regimen has been a warm water bath and always food available if he wants to eat. We can't force-feed him as he hides in his shell, and without a mouth to pry open, it is hard. Matt was able to get some Strawberry in his mouth yesterday which Shylie promptly spit back out. He does open his eyes after being in the water but if he doesn't eat, he will die. Eat Shylie Eat
