Pokey knocked on the back door this morning, and once she moved off of the porch I rewarded her with the latest batch of watermelon, strawberry tops, and lettuce.  

Since we are getting ready to leave tomorrow, this means she will be on a 'diet' of grass since most of our tortoise-sitter's leftovers will be going to their chickens.

It also means that shortly 

I will not have the luxury of adding illustrations to my blog.

Today's agenda involves packing.  

I always bring more than I need, though I am doing better.
