Semi-Daily Scribbles

When Doris (foreground) and Theresa begin to feel their temples throb from work-a-day stress, they pull out the loaf of day old bread tucked away in a filing cabinet and head on down to the turtle pond. The aquatic habitat nestled in the center of their office campus is home to not only turtles, but fish, ducks, cranes, beavers, tadpoles and toads, and water moccasins. Convenient kibble dispensers are positioned around the railing of the pond so break-taking cubicle dwellers can pelt the marine life with the turtle version of Grape Nuts.

This photo, taken by non-turtle feeding colleague, Scott, captures a warm and windy May day in North Texas.

How do you de-stress when deadlines have you bested?
