A Nine-banded armadillo in the green swamp in Central Florida Picture credit: http://www.birdphotos.com On our local ABC News this morning, came a story that sent shivers down my spine, once again.

Our beloved Gopher Tortoise, Harriet As many of you know, we share our property here in Florida with Harriet, our beloved Gopher Tortoise. She brings us so much joy everyday and we have fought hard to protect her many times since moving here in 2004. Now some of her kin in the West, are […]
