Oh summer, you and your hot weather! All I want to do is float in a pool, but we don’t have a pool, so running through a sprinkler now and then has to suffice. I have summer brain. Not only am I forgetting the things I need to get done, but the kitchen has become my enemy. Who wants to spend time in a kitchen, cooking hot things, when it’s almost 100 degrees outside? Not me.
On my birthday we crossed off one of my 101 items, we visited The Living Planet Aquarium. Here is one of their star residents, the sea turtle. It was a tricky video to get, everyone was there trying to catch a glimpse:
More about the turtle (source): “The 40lb Green Sea Turtle was severely bitten by a large shark and then hit by a boat, and shortly thereafter was rescued by The Turtle Hospital in Florida. It has a large semi-circular wound (approx 12 inches in diameter) on its right side. After a year of care it is still unable to fully submerge and therefore would not survive in the wild on its own, causing it to be non-releasable. In order to assist the turtle with buoyancy, custom made lead weights have been applied to its shell with marine epoxy and Velcro. All turtles float differently and at different angles, therefore the appropriate weight is placed on the back and sides of the shell.”
Aside from celebrating holidays and birthdays, our summer has been full of yard work, and lazy nights.
What do you do in the summertime? Do you get summer brain too?
