The first big announcement: we’re getting turtles. Or perhaps the chickens deserve to be announced first, we got them a few weeks ago. Or the rabbits we got in the spring. We’re looking after a friend’s cat, too, who arrived in August with several pieces of her own luggage. One dog, two cats, two rabbits, and four chickens will soon be joined by three turtles, whom William has already named Mossy, Coral Reef, and Shelly.* The turtles, like the rabbits, are a birthday present; in this case, for William’s seventh birthday, which falls right before and is largely overshadowed by Christmas.
What a funny and beautifully written letter! I also am taking it as an omen that i need to move to this house we are looking at in the mountains of west virginia, because I am so jealous of your wildlife. (definitely not going to take on children or pet turtles or chickens though.) You have a lot of little critters! I have no idea how you find time to breathe.
