"Country life has its conveniences," he would sometimes say. "You sit on the veranda and drink tea, while your ducks swim on the pond, there is a delicious smell everywhere...and the gooseberries are growing."
~Anton Chekhov
A lovely sentiment about enjoying summer and sipping a little ice tea...we needed a little ice tea pick me up, as one of our new turtle friends decided he wasn't happy and made his exit to the main road near our home. Our neighbor found him run over by a car. The poor little turtle traveled quite a distance from the pond...who ever said turtles were slow?
