Happy Sunday! A cool but Sunny May day today! We have had rain and thunderstorms the last few days here in Western North Carolina mountains, so it’s nice to see a little sun.
It’s turtle crossing season! The turtles are crossing the roads all around here. We’ve already moved two in the direction they were crossing in order to get them out of danger. Sadly we saw one smashed and killed on the road already, so we try to get them out of danger. Here are some tips from Fish and Wildlife on helping a turtle cross the road:

The most important tip is to always move them in the direction they were heading, or they will just turn around and cross the road all over again.
This past week I have been trying to catch up on reviewing and reading, as well as doing some Historical Novel Society work.
Yesterday I posted a review of Upon The Corner of the Moon.
I have been trying to get my Indie Weekend books caught up, so you will see those reviews coming out soon. Since I’m retired now, I’m thinking of changing Indie Weekend to a different title that I can post any day of the week, so suggestions are welcome for a new title!
COMING NEXT WEEK
I am going to post more reviews I did for the May issue of The Historical Novel Society, and expect a few Indie reviews.
Have a wonderful week, and watch out for turtles crossing your road!
Thank you to The Caffeinated Book Reviewer for hosting Sunday Post.
We had several little turtles heading for our pond that we helped along:) We also have some geese, and one couple just had seven babies (goslings)! Despite people thinking geese are mean, ours know us well and come right up to us (or run to us when we have some feed for them:)
Oh how cute! Baby geese!
Wow what a sight to see turtles crossing the road. I remember years ago on holiday in Crete seeing wild tortoises all over the road, we couldn’t believe it!
I hear it’s that time of year they choose to move to new terroritory, or for nesting, etc. I do worry about them!
It’s dangerous for turtles crossing a road. Nice of you to get them across so they don’t get smashed, Bonnie. Your indie reviews are wonderful.
Thanks! Got any suggestions for a new name for Indie Weekend that I can post any day of the week?
Not any in mind, Bonnie. I’ll think about it.
We used to see lots of turtle crossing when I lived in MN. We live on a small stretch of land between 2 lakes so they might be going to either lake.

It breaks my heart when I see them smashed on the road. Was there a road they crossed between the lakes?
How about Indie Spotlight or Spotlight on Indie?
I have been using Indie Spotlight for posts that don’t include a review but I could call them all Indie Spotlight.
That must be the reason Indie Spotlight was in the front of my mind!
I probably will use that. I no longer need to wait until the weekend so it makes sense.
