In random Fort Lauderdale news, this is apparently a record-breaking turtle nesting season. When I went over to the beach last night, I noticed bunches of cordoned off nests, so I checked this morning and found that they have roped off over 400 nests as of last week. Just from the spot I had planted myself I could see probably a dozen. Yay Turtles!

Apparently that applies here too because Gordie was trying to get to a snapper who had climbed up from the creek into the yard.

Fortunately she was on the other side of the no-Gordies-in-the-creek fence and we were able to gently convince her to make better life choices with the aid of a kayak paddle. (I said gently!)
