June 9, 2026 – Turtles!

Can we talk about the turtles of Central Park for a moment?

Because they deserve more recognition. Every time I spot one of these unhurried little souls going about their morning — sunning on a rock, paddling through the water, completely unbothered by the city humming around them — I feel my whole nervous system relax. There is simply no bad mood that a turtle cannot fix.

They were out early this morning, and honestly, they made my day.
