spring in my step

today i put a mat outside the back door... i sat on it crosslegged... it was in the sun... i ate my cornflakes... lulu the little cat came bouncing out of the garden with a squeaky hello... all the clothes were clean and sunning themselves on the line... there was anticipation of a visit to the markets and a fridge full of fresh fruit and vegies and athena yogurt... and a picnic in the park.
i could smell spring.

it was a day full of laughing and being floppy

and then yesterday i was running along the beach and i found a baby turtle.. all black and soft and eyes closed and scared of the world.. so i picked it up and put it back in the water.. thats where i thought it wanted to be. then today i was talking to jess the turtle girl and she said that it was a fresh water turtle that had come out of the storm water drain coz it had legs and a long neck.
so i had done the wrong thing for this little turtle. i hope that it is enjoying its new salty life.
