International Turtle and Tortoise Week 2024, Day 1

Happy Earth Day and happy International Turtle and Tortoise Week! 🌎 We are kicking off the best week of the year with literal tree hugging: Sometimes, you just have to hug a tree! (Or a tree root if you are like me and can't reach the trunk.) 🌳🤗🐢

With all of today's literal and figurative tree hugging, don't forget that we should all be kind to our planet more than just one day every year. Be thoughtful about reducing, reusing, and recycling every day to help our beautiful home stay beautiful! ♻️💚🌏

Mom made me go on a bumpy ride after breakfast, so she apologized with lots of dandelion treats once I recovered. Then Mom forgot to tell Grandmom that I got my breakfast already, so Grandmom gave me a great big second breakfast—with even more bonus dandies! Best day ever!!
