So, I drop Carolyn off at her computer class, pick up a few things at Lowe’s and Target, and head home. . .but as I’m turning into the driveway, I see this big bump. Then it moves. I get out of the van, and it’s a good-sized box turtle! Well! I picked him up and carried him into the back, and plopped him into the stream (not knowing how good a thing it would be to put him in the pond itself.)

I didn’t get a picture, because by the time I’d gone back and finished parking, he’d disappeared somewhere. He might be hiding in the yard, he might have slipped away someplace else. I think he’d be a good addition, seeing that he likes to eat slugs and other icky things, but obviously it’ll be up to him. Maybe he can make friends with the frog.
